Band of Horses

In July 2008, Band of Horses was riding high on the success of their second studio album, 'Cease to Begin,' which had been released just months earlier in October 2007. The album showcased their signature blend of indie rock and folk, earning accolades for its emotional depth and melodies. By the time they took the stage at the Roskilde Festival, the band was connecting deeply with audiences, and 'Funeral' had become a fan favorite—its haunting lyrics and soaring instrumentation capturing the essence of their sound. Interestingly, this performance highlighted a period of growth for the band, blending introspective themes with reverberating harmonies. Their set at Roskilde symbolized not just a moment of triumph, but also the burgeoning potential of Band of Horses as a staple in the indie rock scene.
