Band of Horses emerged in the mid-2000s with an engaging blend of melodic woodsy rock and strong reverb-laden vocals. Initially based in Seattle, they issued a pair of acclaimed albums for Sub Pop that helped turn them into one of the more prominent indie rock bands of the era. After frontman Ben Bridwell moved the outfit to his native South Carolina, Band of Horses enjoyed mainstream success first with 2007's Cease to Begin, followed in 2010 by their Grammy-nominated major-label debut Infinite Arms. Throughout the 2010s, they continued to establish themselves as major players in the indie world, working with legendary producers like Glyn Johns and Rick Rubin while continuing to evolve their sound. A six-year gap followed 2016's Why Are You OK?, after which the group returned with 2022's Things Are Great.
