Band of Horses - Everything All the Time

I've thought of "The Funeral" as an indie-rock "Lightning Crashes" before, and I'm standing by that - but it was a nice surprise to find that there's a fair bit more to Band of Horses than just that one song (lest there be any confusion, I like "The Funeral" a lot). The obvious comparison is My Morning Jacket, as much for the spacy acoustic vibe as for the reverb-y vocals, but Band of Horses' songs are tauter than MMJ's, and their stuff has clearer alt-rock overtones (another reference point would be Siamese Dream era Pumpkins in some alterate universe where the Pumpkins were just a bit lighter and Corgan just a bit less self-absorbed). The songs are good, balancing melancholy with optimism, and so are the melodies, and it's just about the right length.
