Horse Thief Is An American Folk Band Comprising Alberto Roubert Drums Cody Fowler Bass Zach Zeller Keyboards Alex Coleman Lead Guitar And Cameron Neal Guitar Vocals . The Band Is A Purveyor Of A Panoramic Yet Nuanced Sound Flowing From Intimate To Anthemic The Mood From Vibrant To Contemplative With Frontman Cameron Neal’s Lyrics Ranging From Confessional To Metaphorical. The Result Evokes The Wide-Open Spaces Of America’s Midwest But Infuses The Sense Of Grit And Wonderment With Edgier Emotions. Horse Thief Originally Founded In Denton TX Moved To Oklahoma City To Attend The Academy Of Contemporary Music At The University Of Central Oklahoma From Which They Graduated. The Band Subsequently Signed With The Flaming Lips’ Management And Soon Came To The Attention Of Bella Union. Though Fear In Bliss Was Conceived At Horse Thief’s Oklahoma Headquarters The Band Decided To Record The Album In LA “to Leave Our Comfort Zone Of Oklahoma” And Producer Thom Monahan Devendra Banhart Vetiver Has Helped The Band Fuse Their Renowned Stage Performance With Studio Quality. The Over-Arching Theme To Fear In Bliss Is “finding Yourself And What You Believe In And Finding The Comfort In Acknowledging Fear. I’ve Struggled With Anxiety And Depression Which Comes Out A Lot On The New Album. But When Everything Gets Rough I Think There’s Always A Way To Fix It. The Biggest Thing For Me Is To Give Comfort To People To Shed Light On The Truth That Someone Is Feeling The Same Way As Them.” read less
