Band of Horses "Infinite Arms" (ADVANCE)

NOTE: You can stream the album for free here.

This is a mood album. It works best when you're in a certain frame of mind. It's mostly mid-tempo, moderate rockers that try to be expansive while hardly reaching the 4:00 mark.

If that sounds like a bad review it's not meant to be. This is an interesting album that has its moments but is not one that will be especially memorable or overly entertaining. But, then again, I've never been a huge fan of the Americana genre.

Must hear: Laredo
