I somehow missed the Band Of Horses wagon train when it set out last year. I mean, I found their 2006 effort to be a decent collection, but aside from The Funeral, it all kinda blended together in a great big meringue. So I wasn’t expecting a whole lot with the new one. But there are a few really strong tracks on there, not the least of which is called “Marry Song.”
Check it:
California appears to be getting complacent about the threat of earthquakes … 
The friends have gone away but the attitude is still here. Rose Garden Santa Bar… 
Under La Loma Bridge… 
When I’m slicing the top of the bottle off the get the last bit, maybe it’s time… 
Not the sexiest look, but so very on brand. .

The train you missed was a good one. The freshman effort is an epic piece of work & has been followed up by an equally impressive record. I can’t get enough of Band of Horses.

I’ll keep trying them out. I like what I’ve heard of the new one, and people whose opinion I really respect keep saying the same thing you are.
