About a week before its slated release, Band of Horses fans can stream BoH's highly anticipated new album Infinite Arms, in full, on the band's website.
The North/South Carolina-based rock band previously released singles off the album, including Compliments, Laredo, Factory and NW Apt.
As mentioned in a previous post, I am curious about the marketing strategy here. MGMT allowed a stream of their new album a month or more before its release, but they admitted that was because it was leaked. On the other hand, Dr. Dog's April release, Shame, Shame, was streaming on NPR a couple weeks before its release, but that seemed to be more to give the rather under-the-radar band some exposure.
Thoughts/comments?
While you're chewing it over, listen to Infinite Arms here.
Band of Horse's last album, Cease to Begin, with its simplicity and intimacy, hasn't been far from arms reach since I was introduced to it more than a year ago. So, I don't know about you, but my Wednesday just got a lot better.

Open discussion on songs, the album as you listen?
ReplyDeleteI'll start it out:
Some really nice country-tinged acoustic work on here. Guitarist/vocalist Ben Bridwell and guitarist Mat Brooke really shine (For Anabelle is a great example).
Like Cease to Begin, Infinite arms has a nice mix of highs and lows.
