Listening to... Band of Horses: Cease to Begin

The guitars introduce the whole album's ongoing atmosphere breaking into the quicker drums and more rocky aspects of the album that reappear throughout. There's a sweet romanticism to the lyrics and an ethereal quality to Ben Bridwell's voice, especially during the oohs and ahhs. And there's so many of those nice oohs and ahhs. There's a hint of folk rock under all the indie rock. Although some might debate that the reverb sound is over-used, I feel that it's what gives this album it's unmistakeable lullaby-like sound. The perfect soundtrack to a night full of comfortable, warm dreams.
