VIDEO REVIEW: BAND OF HORSES: LAREDO
“Laredo” is the second new song and the first official single from Band of Horses’ third album Infinite Arms which may redeem the band from the luke warm received last release “Compliments”. Inftinite Arms is an attempt to project the essence of different locales across America that became the setting for its recording and songwriting process. The rich musical heritage of Muscle Shoals, AL, the sublime beauty of Asheville’s Blue Ridge Mountains, the glamorous Hollywood Hills and the vast Mojave desert all influenced the sounds on this album. The serene woods of Northern Minnesota and the band’s native Carolina’s, all inspired the songwriting, lending the compositions an air of comfort and familiarity. For their new video,”Laredo”, produced by Merge @Crossroads Films, they surprisingly didnt film in Laredo but Pioneertown, CA. Band of Horses “explansive country-rock feels custom-built for long drives through the wilderness.”(pitchfork) and the video features footage from an impromptu set the band played at local haunt Pappy & Harriet’s, mixed with some great desert road trip footage. Anyone want to take a road trip?
