In June 2016, when Band of Horses performed "Dilly" live on KCRW, the band was promoting their fifth studio album, "Why Are You OK," which had been released earlier that same year. This album marked a significant moment in their career, as it was the first to feature drummer Creighton Barrett and included collaborations with producer Rick Rubin, known for his influential work with various artists. The session highlighted the band's evolving sound and experimentation with different musical influences, showcasing their growth since their debut. Notably, "Why Are You OK" drew inspiration from personal themes and was well-received, helping to solidify Band of Horses' position in the indie rock scene during that period. The KCRW performance also exemplified their commitment to live music, engaging fans with their signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and rich instrumentation.
