I've never been a fan of Band of Horses, but this does sound good.
It is very different from Band of Horses, if you like John Fahey you will like his guitar style. Some songs are just instrumentals, but Tyler is an excellent guitarist and they give the album balance. The track "Once In Your Lifetime" has been the album highlight for me.

Posted by GGOB ALLIN loving the new black mountain release.. first album from 2008 i've heard, and it's a good one.
They're back! I love that whole Pink/Black Mountain collective. Alright...
Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been, Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene; As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be, So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.

My first listen was the new Magnetic Fields, I like it, but it's no Holiday. I still wanna listen to the new Beach House but I cant find it online anywhere. I haven't even listened to their first album. I also havent heard Black Mountain, but they sound like a metal band... kinda scares me... lol.

Agreed. I'm also really loving Samamidon- All is Well. It's a beautiful folk record.
I love Samamidon. I put "All is Well" on my top albums of 2007 list because I had it for about a month and a half before I did my list. It's a massive improvement over anything else he has ever done.

It's a traditional folk record with strings. The vocals are whispery and he sings a lot in a qasi-falsetto. His voice is very unique. I think you would like it L.R. but make sure you pick up "All is Well" and not "But This Chicken Proved Falsehearted" because I found that album to be quite weak.
