“Horn of Plenty” was born after the band’s vocalist Ed Droste suffered a harsh breakup, and decided to create this record with some help by drummer Christopher Bear (using the alias Grizzly Bear) as a form of purification and a spirit-cleansing method for said breakup.
The overall sound on this project is cold, soft and sulky.
The song “Deep Sea Diver” (which opens the record) is probably the “heaviest” on the album with its firm and muffled drums, hypnotising guitar and distorted vocals. It’s also the track that ressembles the most with the band’s sound from future albums.
