Here is the new video from Band of Horses, who consistently make some of the prettiest rock music available. Some of the prettiest rock music videos, too. (They like nature, which you would guess from looking at lead singer’s Ben Bridwell’s beard.) Formed in Seattle, now located in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, right outside Charleston (some very pretty nature there, and delicious food, too-I just visited last week!) they arrived on the national scene with impeccable timing a few years ago, right when Louisville’s My Morning Jacket stopped making some of the prettiest rock music available in favor of being more experimental, but somehow also less interesting. Band of Horses’ third album, Infinite Arms comes out May 18. You can watch them perform their new song live on the British TV show “Later Live with Jools Holland” here.
