"Of The West is the brainchild of husband/wife team David Banahan and Lisa Banahan. Yet, the band is not complete without the indispensable help of Nick Kelly and Henry Ward. They create methodical and passionate soundscapes that evoke intense emotions akin to Sigur Rós, Brian Eno, Yo La Tengo and Godspeed You Black Emperor. This is no casual listening band. It’s intense and it will move you." -Mat Leffler-Schulman, Mobtown Studios
