[CRAZY-HORSE]

BAND OF HORSES "infinate arms" cd,2010.

third album from these dudes from Seattle...
had never heard of these guys when i heard "laredo" on the radio...first thoughts were "crazy horse #2"...the guitar work was just so reminiscent of some of Neil Young's work, got the album purely on the strength of that one song...and its a pretty good one at that...
great harmonies and melodies here, similar in vein to Fleet Foxes and My Morning Jacket IMO, can also hear influences from CSNY,Neil Young,Byrds,Beach Boys in places.
great crisp,clear production on here also that does not detract from the overall sound one bit.
album hit top 10 in US and Australia and just missed out on a top20 placing in the UK...these guys have a bright future ahead of them if given the chance!
