Dreams of Home

Band of Horses, Everything All Of The Time. Some very nice person I know sent me this excellent disc as a Valentine’s present, and as presents (and CDs) go, it’s a really good one. I described the music to someone as a heavy dose of My Morning Jacket combined with a pinch of The Shins, and I think that’s pretty accurate. Despite hailing from Seattle, B of H definitely has that dreamy My Morning Jacket sound down, creating very lush soundscapes with very limited instrumentation. And for some reason, every time I listen to this disc, it reminds me of being young at my parents’ house. I have absolutely no idea why, but it’s a good feeling. All in all, it’s a great disc that I probably wouldn’t have discovered on my own. Thank you, sweetheart.
