Horses are the new Monkeys are the new Wolves

Band of Horses, a five-tet hailing from Seattle, Washington, are the latest band to join the list of indie hypedom/saviors of the known universe.

here's what Subpop has to say about their latest investment:

Buoyed by Bridwell's warm, reverb-heavy vocals (which strangely channel a dichotomous blend of Wayne Coyne, Brian Wilson and Doug Martsch,) Band of Horses' woodsy, dreamy songs ooze with amorphous tension, longing and hope. At times raggedly epic ("The Great Salt Lake") and delicately pensive ("St. Augustine," "Monsters"), Everything All the Time is an album painted gorgeously in fragile highs and lows.

raggedly epic? would never had come up with that. Their latest LP, Everything All The Time, is much more a grower than a shower, with their Shins-like pop tenets and creamy reverbed out vocals of my Morning Jacket (which in fact are two bands with proven track records for success!)

"Ghostbusters! another fucking money machine!"
yeah, nobody watched the new Sopranos, did they.
