Indie Folk Columbia 2010
Sorry no download (this just came out)
Recently released Inifinite Arms is another staple by under-rated staple indie band Band Of Horses. Akin to other indie folk bands of their kind, this band boasts great dynamics and great song writing.
Infinite Arms opens up with one heck of a song called "Factory", a great song that sounds like a mixture of the Yo La Tengo great "The Story Of Yo La Tengo" and any great Fleet Foxes song. The album opens up with strong with several great dynamic songs and starts to quiet down around track six with the only song of questionable quality ("On My Way Back Home" kinda sounds like a Hannah Montana song.) They pick it back up with the quieter title track and ride into the sunset with the last closing tracks.
Band Of Horses is a band that obviously enjoys what they're doing and doesn't feel like they need to experiment or find a new sound. (Because they might fall flat on their faces like with MGMT's newest effort)
Another thing to point out, in context of the music industry as a whole, is that the popular music review site Pitchfork gave this a low score. It could be said that they did this because Band Of Horses is on a big label now, it could be said that Pitchfork are just a bunch of assholes. What should really be learned here is that never should a review site be taken so seriously, it is your opinion that matters to yourself after all.
Cheers
For Listeners Of: Fleet Foxes, Beirut, Iron And Wine, Animal Collective, Devendra Banhart, The Decemberists, Akron/Family, Plants And Animals, Neutral Milk Hotel, Bright Eyes
