The Very Most is an indie-pop band from Boise, Idaho founded by Jeremy Jensen in 2002. It's quite possible they're the only indie-pop band from Boise, Idaho. Like almost every band, they exist both live and on record. But for the Very Most, the process of recording happens over years, as Jeremy, with an assembled cast of talented friends, carefully constructs layers upon layers of guitar, bass, drums, strings, percussion, woodwinds, synths, vocals and sound effects in a backyard studio. They’ve gone through many personnel changes and formats, but as of now, they’re a five piece, with Zach Von House on bass and vocals, Jake Hite on drums, Gia Trotter ..boards and vocals, and Clint Vickery on Guitar, Keyboards, Percussion, and Vocals. They take their show on the road in small doses, playing shows in Portland, Spokane, Salt Lake City and various points in between. They’ve also played shows with such bands as the Halo-Benders, The Microphones, and Thanksgiving. Their music is dense, catchy, and has a decidedly un-hip, yet slightly off-kilter, lyrical viewpoint. It’s kind of a like being the only adult at a little kids’ dance party where you get to choose the music, but the kids make you spin them around until everyone’s really dizzy. Influences include Beach Boys, Built to Spill, Smiths, and Belle and Sebastian.p>

Congratulations Forever is the second record by The Very Most, and expands greatly on the previous album, Making the Case For Me. Here are some reviews of Congratulations Forever:

"The second album from Boise, Idaho's Very Most is definitely a pop masterpiece" - This is Pop Music

"The Very Most chip in with ’Christmas came November 4th’, a quartet hailing from Idaho who to date have managed to sneak out two albums that have seemingly sneaked beneath our usually attentive radar to much grumbling. This tenderly tingling dash of tastiness embraces all manner of west coast accents and heart hugging fondness to smother your listening space in a shimmer like twinkling honeycombed homeliness whose sole purpose it seems is to arrest your psyche with a beautifully radiating fuzzy glow - does it for us." - Losing Today

"The Very Most... play charming, polished, quaint indie-pop that'll warm you to the cockles of your heart." - Three Imaginary Girls

"The vintage, sunshine-in-a-bottle sensation encapsulated in this disc is something the whole family can listen to, and will surely bring The Very Most into some well-deserved recognition." - The Boise Beat

"Overall, The Very Most is a band Boise can be proud of. Every tune on Congratulations Forever contains a pretty, catchy melody and some clever, endearing lyrics... At the very least, you'll be impressed, at the very most, you'll find a new favorite band. - Boise Weekly

"'Profoundly Imperfect' is profoundly perfect. The sun is shining, the sky is electric blue, and there's not a cloud in the sky. Did I say this song was perfect? Because it is. - Tha Bomb Shelter

"The Very Most have the crisp, sweetly melodic guitar pop of Belle and Sebastian in 1996, the quirky keyboard stylings of Quasi, the anthemic, ringing jangle of Big Star and the knock-kneed, gauche 60s girls'n'guitars direction of The Aislers Set (I'm thinking of the straight-up pop greatness of The Last Match album)." - Fire Escape Talking

"One band might just be single-handedly responsible for making Boise, Idaho the new indie-pop mecca. The Very Most are really that good, or at the very least good enough to make location best known for potatoes slightly known for jangly, catchy-as-hell melodies." - Volume Knob
