Band of Horses

Band of Horses recent cd, Cease to Begin has got to be one of the best releases this year. There are a lot of comparisons to My Morning Jacket, which is merited. That's the first thing I thought when I heard the single, Is there a Ghost. They definitely have some of that sound which is not a bad thing but they also seem to have less of the jam's that My Morning Jacket has. Ode to LRC is one of my favorite songs right now.

To get a good sampling of this band's music you can check out their appearance on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, one of my favorite episodes.
