NPR's All Songs Considered, Episode 108, features songs from The Racounteurs, Elf Power, Nickel Creek and Band of Horses.
Elf Power and Band of Horses have albums releasing Tuesday - Back to the Web and Everything all the Time, respectively. I wrote about Elf Power yesterday, and I'll write about Band of Horses now...
Pitchfork has given new Band of Horses album an 8.8, and the one song I've heard from the album, The Funeral, is a masterful track. It opens with a quiet guitar riff and soft vocals and then ascends into a louder, more-beautiful crescendo. Both haunting and energizing, the track walks a tightrope and doesn't look down. This is the one album I know I'm buying on Tuesday.
