Band Of Horses blew the minds as well as the ears of a dazzled audience at Wednesday's taping of The Late Show With Stephen Colbert as they were accompanied for a rollicking debut performance of "Casual Party" by a motley complement of difficult to describe monstrosities.
No, Band Of Horses are not going all Muppets on acid on us, they'd merely invited a few of the unnerving but somehow a little cuddly creatures from the video to their instantly infectious "Casual Party" which dropped today. You can watch the Ben Fee-directed cut right HERE.. "The band's performance of lead single "Casual Party" was accompanied by a unique posse of hype men (/women/things?) that ranged from a human gold pom-pom to a crouching pink alien to what looks like Speed Racer with a major tooth issue. And none of the accompanying weirdos seemed too psyched to be onstage. Casual Party, indeed. We do get a little head bob from Pom Pom Swamp Thing near the end. Oh, the power of indie rock."--RELIX MAGAZINE Produced by Jason Lytle, and Executive Produced by Rick Rubin, Why Are You OK will hit stores on June 10 via Interscope Records/American Recordings. The band breathed life into the recordings from the album this week, CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND noted that "They still very much know how to make a small room feel like a cavernous arena." While STEREOGUM found their performance "Heartfelt and expansive...ringing, uplifting, country-fried indie rock."Photo credit: Andrew Stuart
