BAND OF HORSES UNVEIL VIDEO FOR “CASUAL PARTY”
WATCH THE FIRST EVER LIVE PERFORMANCES OF “CASUAL PARTY” AND “IN A DRAWER” ON THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT
WHY ARE YOU OK OUT ON JUNE 10
Band Of Horses blew the minds as well as the ears of a dazzled audience at Wednesday’s taping of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert as they were accompanied for a rollicking debut performance of “Casual Party” by a motley complement of difficult to describe monstrosities.
No, Band Of Horses are not going all Muppets on acid on us, they’d merely invited a few of the unnerving but somehow a little cuddly creatures from the video to their instantly infectious “Casual Party” which dropped today. You can watch the Ben Fee-directed cut right HERE.
“The band’s performance of lead single “Casual Party” was accompanied by a unique posse of hype men (/women/things?) that ranged from a human gold pom-pom to a crouching pink alien to what looks like Speed Racer with a major tooth issue. And none of the accompanying weirdos seemed too psyched to be onstage. Casual Party, indeed. We do get a little head bob from Pom Pom Swamp Thing near the end. Oh, the power of indie rock.”–RELIX MAGAZINE
Produced by Jason Lytle, and Executive Produced by Rick Rubin, Why Are You OK will hit stores on June 10 via Interscope Records/American Recordings. The band breathed life into the recordings from the album this week, CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND noted that “They still very much know how to make a small room feel like a cavernous arena.” While STEREOGUM found their performance “Heartfelt and expansive…ringing, uplifting, country-fried indie rock.”
Band Of Horses is set to kick off their North American tour tomorrow evening in Wilmington, Delaware. Watch this space for more album & tour announcements coming soon.
