Band of Horses
This site died for a while. :'(
But now it’s back! 🙂
…I don’t blame ya if you didn’t notice.
- the trees are attacking
I have a problem with Band of Horses’s Everything All The Time; it’s too short. In the past week, I’ve listened to it straight through about…[counts in fingers]…jagillion times. Yes, I know that’s not a real number.
I’m not sure why I like them so much, but it’s kind of rare that I enjoy something to such a high degree all the way through. So what do Band of Horses sound like? Uh. Um. Kind of like “The Shins”:http://www.theshins.com/, but not. Sometimes shouty, sometimes soft. Lots of echoing. Possibly grating, high pitches that I happen to enjoy. Happy. Sad. Swirly. Sweet.
It’s got guitars and stuff, if that helps. Which it doesn’t.
I JUST LIKE EM. To prove my point, I even uploaded mp3s! Just fer youuu:
Band of Horses – Wicked Gil [removed]
Band of Horses – St. Augustine [removed]

sweet! thanks for MP3s. (and I DID notice your site was down!) I definitely agree with the Shins reference. A few other people have told me they sounded like a cross between Grandaddy and My Morning Jacket, which made my heart beat faster. Although I’m not sure I agree with the Grandaddy part, they do sort of hint at the MMJ vocals. I’ll have to give this album another listen, based on your appreciation!

You know, I really can’t explain why I like them so much either. I started listening to them a few weeks ago and they really caught on to me. It’s not complex music, but it’s nice to listen to. Hmm.
Glad to see the archives are back!
