pitchfork reports that Mat Brooke has left Band of Horses, and “it doesn’t look as if he has plans to hop back on. The group’s co-founder (along with fellow ex-Carissa’s Wierd member Ben Bridwell) hasn’t been touring with the band, although he played an integral part in the creation of Horses’ debut album, Everything All the Time.”
An official statement from the band reads, “Mat was originally in the band to help with songwriting, and that due to his other projects taking off, he is no longer in the band.”
