Band of Horses has been making waves recently, mostly due to their forthcoming second LP, Cease to Begin. Pitchforkmedia just put up a rather extensive interview with lead singer Ben Bridwell, and by "extensive" I mean "talking about a bunch of crap before finally getting to music."
The short of it:
- New album to be released October 9
- First single to most likely be "No One's Gonna Love You"
- Other confirmed song titles are "Ode To the LRC" and "Window Blues."
- Besides both having enormous beards, Ben Bridwell and Doug Martsch also play basketball against each other. I'd imagine a huge, sweaty beard is quite the defense.
- Bag of Choices is a viable alternative name for the band. Along with "Jason."
Here is a ridiculously crappy live video of "Ode to the LRC" (the audio is decent, however, and the song is awesome).

Having the video attached to this post is perfect, in light of the interview. I'm excited to hear BoH's next album, and pretty excited also that it's not named Jason.
