Live Band of Horses MP3s
Here is a good quality recording of a concert that Band of Horses played earlier in the month at Neumo's in Seattle. I still stand by my assertation that these guys could put on a great show. Live I think that the singers voice sounds a bit like a mix between My Morning Jacket's Jim James mixed with the more nasal aspects of the Flaming Lips Wayne Coyne. That makes their choice of the cover song to include on this set, Otis Redding's "Chained and Bound" all the more interesting. Still, on the songs that build in epic fashion, the band has a great deal of energy. Even on the songs that keep quiet the whole time, like St. Augustine, seem to have the promise that they could break out into rockin' at any moment. When they don't, I'm not sure whether to be disappointed or not. Anyways, check out the live tracks and make up your own mind, then buy their record, "Everything All the Time"
