Ben Bridwell — Band Of Horses
You’ll obviously have already heard the song ‘The Funeral’ by ‘Band Of Horses’ but I just can’t seem to get over how amazing this song is. I was listening to The Funeral in my car yesterday and it adds this weird, surreal effect to life, like nothing can touch you and you can do anything. It feels like you’re in a movie, or a dreamland, or like someone is photographing your life for some sort of amazing photo essay.
I found a live version so it’s not as crisp and clear as normal, but it conveys the feeling better if you love the grittiness of live music (I’m a whore for live music like this)
One thing I really dig about Band Of Horses is that even with with their huge success, they still play cool gigs like the Nudie CCTV Sessions. Nudie is a brand of denim that I wear exclusively (Imported from Sweden, thanks!), and they have musicians come play in small gigs in their stores. Band Of Horses have played twice for them at their Nudie Stores and it makes for a really amazing intimate acoustic session. The videos take quite a while to load, so I won’t embed them here, but instead I will give you a link to the Nudie CCTV page, and you can view the videos there. Click here to view Band Of Horses live in the Nudie Jeans stores.
You’ll see Ben has gone from the full beard to something a little more suited for the upcoming Movember. Nice!
And if you ever get the chance, do yourself a favour and invest in a pair of Nudie jeans. I’ll be chatting about those soon.
