Band of Horses played KCRW last week, showing off 5 new songs from their upcoming album, Cease To Begin. I was a little concerned about how the new one might turn out after Mat Brooke’s departure. My fears were calmed when they sounded good despite a lackluster crowd at the Hollywood Bowl in July (I know, big surprise, right?), and they sound good here too. “Ode To The LRC” is my favorite of the new ones, even if it begins to sound like a Decemberists’ song at the end. As usual, I edited out the dead air and pumped up the volume like I’m Rakim. For the full set with the interview, check KCRW’s archives.
