Established on an axis that connects Seattle — where cornerstone member and frontman Ben Bridwell formed his outfit in 2004 — and South Carolina, where he relocated before 2007's second album, Cease to Begin, Band of Horses has created a sound that exists firmly within the American rural-rock tradition but often reaches places altogether more spectral and unfathomable. The first single released from debut album Everything All the Time (2006) was "The Funeral," the perfect introduction to Bridwell's keening echo of voice and a great example of the band's ability to switch from spider-web delicacy to thunderous heft within the confines of one expertly constructed song. "Is There a Ghost" continued in that vein, piling notes of melancholy into a gathering cloud of neo-shoegaze guitar, while the rocked-up single "Compliments" from 2010's stunning Infinite Arms signaled the band's willingness to expand its horizons.

My Favorite Band
Band of Horses is such an awesome, insightful band and I love every song on this iTunes Essential. Once you start listening you won't be able to stop and you'll want more. I love all of their songs and every album is so awesome. I recommend this Essential to anyone who wants to discover a new band and be blown away. Everyone should appreciate music this good!!
So good it gives me chills
Band of Horses is one of those bands that just nails every note, every chord, every beat and every hook in their large variety of recorded songs. Ben Bridwell's voice is astonishingly good, providing angst and passion with each vocal line. B of H is one of those bands that should be much more popular than they are, but in many ways, the fact that they are still somewhat "undiscovered" just adds further weight to their already high cool factor.
no one does it better
This is a record for anyone who thinks and loves. It's become the go to music for any circumstance in our lives. Incredible sound, layered and ringing with soaring melodies. My favorite record in 25 years and thats alot of listening. 6 stars
