Claude says:Band of Horses' 2012 pivot toward sunnier, more accessible indie-rock on Mirage Rock landed in your world just as the record dropped that fall, and you cycled through it steadily over the next few months—tracks like "Knock Knock" and "Electric Music" hitting that sweet spot between their Southern-fried roots and something lighter, almost weightless. It's the sound of a band loosening up after the heavier introspection of their earlier work, and you met it exactly where it lived.
