I have been listening to the latest Band of Horses album a lot lately, entitled Everything All The Time (recommended by Rob G. on our trip from Philly to Chicago). Formed in Seattle, WA, these two guys have put together an album of pure, straightforward pop-rock: no frills, no guitar solos, plaintive vocals. Lead singer Ben Bridwell reminds me a little of Doug Martsch, and once you get over his accent (where words like "sure" come out sounding like "shoe-urr", and "stand" is "stee-yand"), it's a really enjoyable listen from start to finish. The Subpop Records website has two free tracks on it (see below), and their official website has some demos and non-album tracks (which every band should make available). There's also a streaming song here. Now if they could only change their name . . .
