"They'll Only Miss You When You Leave: Songs 1996-2003." 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, the 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.

Hardly Art will release a best of compilation spanning the career of CARISSA'S WIERD - with tracks hand picked by Brooke and Ghetto.
