Band of Horses are finally releasing their next studio album this September, entitled Mirage Rock. Their previous record Infinite Arms earned the Seattle band a Grammy nomination. The band has since faded from view, but by the sounds of their first single, "Knock, Knock" this next record should help make more noise than their most well-known song/dirge, "The Funeral." Their trailer (cause everyone has to have one of those nowadays) for Mirage Rock features shots of the band in studio as well as another new one titled "Dumpster World". The video was followed up by "Knock, Knock" and a full track listing. My question is why would an indie rock band write a song called "Electric Music"- what is that going to sound like? And how does that fit on an album called Mirage Rock? So many genres, which is the album going to be?

As long as it's not funeral hymns, we're game. Although that song does rule.
