I was skimming the internet for news today, and look at what I found: a new Band of Horses music video. Hey-o! Then I was reading Stereogum, and in their post about the video, I came across this sentence: “No, we didn’t think Cease To Begin was the greatest album of all time, but it definitely has plenty of beauty tucked in that underwhelming shell[...].” Really Stereogum? Really? Something you may have not picked up on when Cease To Begin first came out last year: it’s the best album of all time. Revolver be damned. Highway 61 can kiss my ass. This is it, man.
Actually, that’s not true, Cease To Begin is probably not the best album of all time, but it was easily one of my favorite albums of 2007. It had Southern Rock tendencies placed in large spacey soundscapes, extremely catchy melodies sung in the band’s doubled-up vocals, and has generally provided the soundtrack to most of the roadtrips I’ve made since.
This video has everything I ask for in a video (subtle plots, live shots, and male nudity) and more (surfing)! Check it out after the jump.
