CARISSA'S WEIRD - SONGS ABOUT LEAVING (BAND OF HORSES) (LP)

Carissa's Weird Songs About Leaving (Band Of Horses) on Marbled Light Green Vinyl LP + MP3 Download Code

Formed in 1995 by Mat Brooke and Jenn Ghetto, Carissa's Wierd spent the better part of a decade crafting intricate, melancholic music with hushed harmonies, heartrending lyrics, and sweeping string movements. While Brooke and Ghetto formed the core of the group, various incarnations of the band also included Sera Cahoone, Ben Bridwell, Sarah Standard, and Jeff Hellis, amongst others. Upon the dissolution of Carissa's Wierd, former members of the band went on to form Grand Archives, S, Sera Cahoone, and most notably, Band of Horses. The widespread success of these projects in many ways legitimizes the humble beginnings of Carissa's Wierd and the promise of their sound.

Following the release of the retrospective compilation, They’ll Only Miss You When You Leave: Songs 1996-2003, Hardly Art is reissuing all three of the Carissa’s Wierd full-lengths. Long out of print, Songs About Leaving is the third and final record in the Carissa’s Wierd trilogy, originally released on CD by Sad Robot in 2002. It is now being released on vinyl for the first time via Hardly Art. The LP version of this release comes on marbled light green wax and housed in a custom dust sleeve with a download code.
