#07: BAND OF HORSES - MIRAGE ROCK
Mirage
Rock is the fourth album from Seattle’s Band Of Horses. The band have been
through many changes since forming in 2004 but the lineup for this album
remains the same as 2010’s well received, Infinite Arms. This has allowed the
band to continue to tighten and develop their sound and the result is a record
that, if there is any justice, should push them firmly into the mainstream.
Album opener, Knock Knock is an up tempo toe tapper and the natural lead single.
It sets the rest of the album up nicely and there are plenty of highlights. Ben
Bridwell’s distinctive vocals sound just as good on the lively How To Live and
A Little Biblical as it does on slower efforts such as the Neil Young inspired
Dumpster World. Like all the best records, it gets better with each listen and
you’ll discover something new each time you come back to it.
