The Profile

Band of Horses is an American indie rock band formed in Seattle in 2004 by Ben Bridwell. Early releases on Sub Pop earned acclaim, especially the debut Everything All the Time. Notable songs include The Funeral, No One's Gonna Love You, and Is There a Ghost. Infinite Arms received a Grammy nomination.

Formed in Seattle (2004) by Ben Bridwell; early albums released on Sub Pop. Mirage Rock was produced by Glyn Johns. Infinite Arms earned a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. Co-founder Mat Brooke departed and later led Grand Archives. Well-known tracks include The Funeral, No One's Gonna Love You, Is There a Ghost, and Laredo.

Reviews hail the debut Everything All the Time as a standout of mid-2000s indie rock. Cease to Begin is seen as a solid but less inspired follow-up. Infinite Arms earns affection and notes its Grammy nomination, highlighting songs like Laredo and Compliments. Mirage Rock, produced by Glyn Johns, is judged more pop and lighter. A festival write-up finds their set comparatively dull among louder acts.

Notable Quotes

❝ BAND OF HORSES AT A GENTLE TROT.
❝ Shot straight to the top of my personal chart of the "Best Albums of 2006", this "Everything All The Time", the debut album by "Band Of Horses", is simply an excellent album, where the verb of American guitar-driven indie rock is conjugated according to the best standards, destined to remain in your CD player for a long time.
❝ Infinite Arms caught my fancy at the first listen.
❝ "The idea behind the title is that I thought it would be fun if someone heard my music from a certain distance and came closer, only to find out that there was nothing there. In short, the title is an actual joke about how someone might perceive my own songwriting". (Ben Bridwell)
❝ From this point of view, the half-hour of the succeeding Band of Horses is the dullest and most out of place.
