South Carolina by way of Seattle…by way of South Carolina (confusing, I know) rockers Band of Horses released a video today in support of their upcoming full-length Infinite Arms, which drops on May 18th via Fat Possum/Columbia Records. The track is called “Compliments” and as of now I’m having a hard time deciding what I think of it. It isn’t bad by any means, but it’s a much bigger sound than their previous efforts and some of the charm found in Cease to Begin and especially their brilliant debut Everything All the Time seems to be sacrificed. The verse definitely does it for me, but the chorus kind of takes me by surprise as it comes across much more arena rock and almost cheezy. Maybe not a bad thing, but I’m still digesting. Anyhoo, judge for yourself below. There’s no doubt it’s a catchy listen, and a great teaser for the upcoming release. May is going to be an amazing month for new releases, and this one is still near the top of my most anticipated.
