Oh My Rockness

Band of Horses' album on Sub Pop, Everything All the Time, was one of my very favorite albums of 2006. I certainly wasn't alone. Everyone seems to love Band of Horses. But if you have yet to hear them, think Flaming Lips meets Rogue Wave meets Akron/Family meets My Morning Jacket. This is pretty much perfect sunshine pop that is right up there in talent with their label mates, The Shins.

I saw Band of Horses open for Iron and Wine a long while back and remember being impressed, but something clearly happened in the many months between that show and the release of their album. And now, Band of Horses are clearly on their way to becoming indie super stars. Catchy. Poignant. And Awesome.
