Band of Horses


Once know just as Horses, Band of Horses is an American rock band from Seattle Washington, the band was formed in 2004. Members include Ben Bridwell, Ryan Monroe, Tyler Ramsey, Bill Reynolds, and Creighton Barrett. Their most current album is Infinite Arms 2010 and to date is their most well received album worldwide. The album has a mellow, melancholy, country-ish, folk, sound much like their previous two album, which doesn’t not sit well when being review by reviewer like Paula Thompson of Pitchfork.com and David Malitz of The Washington Post. Ben Bridwell voice is just beautifully amazing and when you got something going for you, you don’t change it. A refreshing change to the cookie cutter crap thats being played over and over on the air waves. The album starts out on a mellow tempo on the single Factory and picks up the beat in Compliments and Lerado, then brings it back down on the next track. My favorite songs are Factory, Compliments, Lerado, NW Apt, and Neighbor, but don’t get me wrong. I can listen to this whole album on repeat and not tired if it. With that being said if you liked any of the previous albums than this is your cup of tea and for some maybe this will be the album that sells you on Band of Horses. You can listen to the Album on the right, under current Artist, if you enjoy this album please support the artist by purchasing the album, links provide below. Enjoy!
