In October 2010, when Band of Horses performed "Compliments" at Farm Aid 25 in Milwaukee, they were in a notable phase of their career. The band's third studio album, "Infinite Arms," had been released earlier that year in May 2010. This album marked a significant moment for the band as it received critical acclaim and solidified their presence in the indie rock scene. "Infinite Arms" features a more polished sound compared to their earlier works and includes well-received singles like "Laredo" and "Compliments." The Farm Aid performance highlighted their commitment to promoting family farms, aligning them with the event's mission initiated by its founders, including Willie Nelson and Neil Young. This live recording showcases the band's evolving sound while participating in a significant event that emphasizes social and agricultural causes.
