Band of Horses




Today's edition of You got Booned is going to feature an old favorite... Seattle's Band of Horses. After 2 records that may have not gotten any air play on terrestrial radio yet somehow managed to find an audience by being in every car commercial ever made and every Josh Schwartz created TV show. OK so Maybe that's a bit of an embellishment, but they were seriously on the verge of getting over-exposed before they could even be stars. Still, we love them. Now they're all growns up... For their third album they've moved on from Sub Pop and actually signed to 3 different labels... Fat Possum and Brown to keep their indie cred, and Columbia so they can play with the big boys if it really takes off. Haven't heard much off the new album, Infinite Arms due out in May, but the first single "Compliments" is an upbeat little ditty and a little bit of a departure from the other albums.

BTW, whats up with all the courtesy from bands lately.. We got Congratulations from MGMT, and Compliments from Band of Horses. Somebody needs a song that says "you go to hell... you go to hell and you die" just to even out the karma.

And here's the video for good measure.
