If it happens at all, it happens naturally - and perhaps nobody knows that better than Seattle, Washington's Band Of Horses. Guitarist \/ Vocalist Ben Bridwell and bassist Mat Brooke formed Band Of Horses in 2004, after the dissolution of their nearly ten-year run in northwest melancholic darlings Carissa's Weird. Carissa's Weird trafficked in sadly beautiful orchestral pop, whose songs told unflinching stories of heartbreak and loss, leavened with defeatist humor. and, Band Of Horses rises from the ashes of that well-loved and short-lived band. after playing music with each other for over a decade, Bridwell and Brooke picked up together again when Bridwell began fleshing out his compositions post-carissa's. Dreamy songs ooze with amorphous tension, longing and hope. At times raggedly epic (\u003ci\u003eThe Great Salt Lake\u003c\/i\u003e) and delicately pensive (\u003ci\u003eSt. Augustine,\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eMonsters\u003c\/i\u003e), everything all the time is an album painted gorgeously in fragile highs and lows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Black Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Limited Coloured Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50448061858123,"sku":"267795","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50448061432139,"sku":"267796","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d6973e98-4d5e-48d1-b060-0c93950f297e_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727085829"},{"product_id":"cease-to-begin","title":"Cease To Begin","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Band of Horses surfaced in 2006 with \u003ci\u003eEverything All the Time\u003c\/i\u003e, the band's rugged take on rock and roll drew quick parallels to My Morning Jacket and early Neil Young. That's mighty nice company for a young band, but co-founder Mat Brooke nevertheless left the lineup that same summer, choosing to blaze his own trail with Grand Archives instead. Ben Bridwell, Brooke's musical partner for nearly a decade, was left in control of Horses - a daunting position for the former Carissa's Weird bassist, but one that ultimately resulted in a sophisticated, mature, and altogether superior follow-up. \u003ci\u003eCease to Begin\u003c\/i\u003e is the responsible adult to Time's reckless teenager, with Bridwell pitting his high, clear tenor against backdrops of hazy indie rock and campfire singalongs. While tracks like \u003ci\u003eWeed Party\u003c\/i\u003e showed the band having harmless (albeit adolescent) fun on their debut, the good times on \u003ci\u003eCease to Begin\u003c\/i\u003e are more grown-up: a lo-fi, foot-stomping pop ditty (\u003ci\u003eThe General Specific\u003c\/i\u003e), a brief interlude of instrumental watercolors (\u003ci\u003eLamb on the Lam [In the City]\u003c\/i\u003e), a detour into twangy country (\u003ci\u003eMarry Song\u003c\/i\u003e). Those looking for more anthemic rock will gravitate toward kickoff track Is \u003ci\u003eThere a Ghost\u003c\/i\u003e, where the guitars are loud and Bridwell's vocals are candy-coated in reverb, but \u003ci\u003eCease to Begin\u003c\/i\u003e shines it brightest under the twilight glow of \u003ci\u003eDetlef Schrempf\u003c\/i\u003e. Historically, Schrempf was a German-born NBA basketball player with killer three-point accuracy - and while that's certainly an odd choice for a song title, it's easy to forget as drums beat a lazy rhythm beneath Bridwell's falsetto. Who knows whether he's singing to a hometown, a loved one, or his favorite member of the Seattle SuperSonics? It's still a thrilling listen, and the subtle humor hints that Band of Horses isn't growing up too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Black Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP+ - Limited Coloured Vinyl with Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sub Pop","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50448180183371,"sku":"288890","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tape","offer_id":50448182346059,"sku":"1001950","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50448181133643,"sku":"288891","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50448184475979,"sku":"1029825","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a7aba429-a1bb-4440-8efd-dc3661a78882_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727087467"},{"product_id":"a-clockwork-orange-an-imaginary-soundtrack","title":"A Clockwork Orange (An Imaginary Soundtrack)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis record is an “imaginary soundtrack” to Anthony Burgess’ book.

South Carolina's Band of Horses return for album number three, newly expanded in line up and drawing deeply on America's rich musical history. The band sealed their status with their previous album, 2007's 'Cease to Begin', building on their early online, blog buzz acclaim. 'Infinite Arms' sees the band, led by Ben Bridwell, drop many of their 'indie rock' pretensions for a more classic, rootsy American sound. Kicking off with the pretty ballad 'Factory', it's a beginning at odds with 'Cease to Begin's 'Is There a Ghost', favouring a laidback approach over walls of rushing guitars. It's also a good indicator for the rest of the album's twelve tracks. stand outs amongst the slower songs include 'Blue Beard', its stately swagger topped by coo-ing harmonies and punctuating guitar chords with a chorus that recalls starland vocal band's 'Afternoon Delight'. From their indie rock beginnings Band of Horses have grown into modern American torch bearers, their grasp on state-side music and history apparent in their effortlessly authentic yet ageless sound.

And of course there’s the massive single, “The Funeral,” which became a defining song of the era, and continues to inspire new generations of fans and artists alike.
