Band of Horses: Mirage Rock
Jan 30th, 2013 by dcronin
“Someone lit a fire under Band of Horses’ porch. The quintet usually specialize in beard-y reverie, somewhere between Built to Spill’s guitar majesty and Seventies AM folk of America. But the Horses rough things up on Mirage Rock, from the ‘Brown Sugar’ bounce of ‘Electric Music’ to the crackling ‘Knock Knock,’ where Ben Bridwell sings of ‘a ramshackle crew with something to prove.’” –Rolling Stone
