Band of Horses - Indie Band of the Moment

Band of Horses are quickly becoming the blogger/independent band of the moment, following in the recent footsteps of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Okkervil River, Tapes 'n Tapes and a revolving door of British bands. Recent acclaim from Pitchfork and CokeMachineGlow has only strengthened their indie street cred. I am certainly not the first nor the last person to compare their sound to My Morning Jacket but there's no question that their first single, Funeral, is a very strong track. The more I listen to the album, the more I feel like the rest of the songs are beginning to catch up. See for yourself here:
