The highly anticipated follow-up to Band of Horses 2007 album
Cease to Begin
has taken a while to get here, but fret not young horses band fans, a new album is coming. The new album has a title, Infinite Arms, a release date, May 18th, and not much else.
But what label will release it? Possibly Sub Pop, who released their first two albums, but possibly not. The label hasn't been announced yet.
Touring members Tyler Ramsey and Bill Reynolds make their debut on record with Infinite Arms, which was produced by the band and Phil Ek, who worked on the band's past albums. All five members contributed to the recording process, causing frontman Ben Bridwell to state, "in many ways, this is the first Band of Horses record." [via pitchfork]
I always wonder what the main catalyst is for situations like this. It's either a growing ego in the rest of the band or a concerted effort by a lead songwriter to let the others feel good. Or it just unfolds naturally (zing!). Always scary when people start messing with the formula, but then again, the best American band ever, The Beach Boys, started rocking for serious once they did. Band Of Horses is touring pretty much everywhere including stops at SXSW, Sasquatch, and Jazz Fest. Tickets for some shows are on sale through Ticketmaster right here. [via consequence of sound]
