Band of Horses

In April 2010, Band of Horses was riding high on the success of their album "Infinite Arms," released just a year prior. This album marked their first major label release and garnered critical acclaim, showcasing their blend of lush instrumentation and heartfelt lyrics. By the time of the live recording in Dublin, the band was increasing their visibility, even landing a Grammy nomination for Best Alternative Music Album. During this performance of "Our Swords," you can hear the raw energy and emotion that have become synonymous with their live shows. Interestingly, "Infinite Arms" saw them experimenting with different sounds and production techniques, which resonated well with fans. It’s fascinating to think about how this period marked a pivotal moment in their evolution, capturing the band at the heights of both creative and commercial momentum.
