After two albums on independent labels, South Carolina's Band of Horses'
major label switch accompanies a similar musical shift towards reaching a
wider audience. However, a much bigger, more spacious sound has been
achieved without sacrificing intimacy or their old elemental sense of
wonder. These are songs that reach for the sky yet speak to you personally,
Ben Bridwell's vocals finding new peaks of plaintive yearning; the hooks
virtually tumbling over each other to capture perfect, dewy pop. It's shot
through with classic Americana, from the Beach Boys to My Morning Jacket,
but is often as reminiscent of British tunesmiths from Teenage Fanclub to
the Hollies. Sublime moments such as the waterfalling, descending chords
of Laredo and Motown-esque NW Apt. have a similar headrushing feel to the
Stone Roses' debut. The songs deal with lost loves and shattered dreams,
but also redemption and eternal youth – appropriate themes for a collection
bursting with timeless melodies.
