“Even when he’s singing about zoning out on the couch, it feels Grand Canyon expansive”–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
“mellow but grand, pretty but ballsy… The woodsy and spacious songs start as wispy acoustic things but blossom into electric storms”–GQ
“pure, polished AM-radio gold”–NYLON
Infinite Arms, Band of Horses’ third full length LP and first for Brown/Fat Possum/Columbia, has sold over 45,000 records in the week following its May 18 release, debuting at #7 on the U.S. album chart.
Infinite Arms also debuted #2 in Norway, top 10 in Canada, top 20 in Australia and New Zealand, making an impressive international showing overall.
The band’s career chart high to date comes in the wake of a North American tour supporting Pearl Jam, during which BOH’s Ben Bridwell joined the headliners for multiple encores of “All Along The Watchtower” as well as a climactic and rarely played version of Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike” at Madison Square Garden.
Band of Horses has been anything but inactive since wrapping those dates, appearing May 27 on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, days after sneaking in a stripped down acoustic set at the Masonic Lodge at L.A.’s Hollywood Forever cemetery. The band has also knocked out electric sets from the Roxy to Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern, and filmed a video for first single “Laredo” with Mark Pellington in Pioneertown CA—where they fit in an impromptu May 23 set at Pappy & Harriet’s.
Additionally, Band of Horses has contributed the unavailable elsewhere “Life On Earth” to the upcoming Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack, and will be adding a leg of July dates to a globe-spanning 2010 tour that will include some of its biggest headlining shows to date from New York’s Williamsburg Waterfront to the Greek Theaters of Los Angeles and Berkeley.
A current list of dates is below, with many more to be announced very soon. Visit www.bandofhorses.com for ticketing information.
Band of Horses is Ben Bridwell, Creighton Barrett, Ryan Monroe, Tyler Ramsey and Bill Reynolds.
