pplpod Episode 32 rides with Band of Horses from Seattle garages to widescreen stages—charting Ben Bridwell’s vision, the rotating lineup that kept the engine weird and alive, and the sound that made them stick: sky-high harmonies, reverb-swept guitars, and lyrics that feel like postcards from places you’ve almost been. We trace the arc from Everything All the Time and the breakout of “The Funeral,” through Cease to Begin’s Southern glow, the Grammy-nominated Infinite Arms, Mirage Rock, Why Are You OK, and Things Are Great. Inside the craft: chiming vs. crunching guitars, tempo as mood, and the way memory, distance, and small-town detail turn into sing-shout catharsis. Plus: key collaborators, the live show’s quiet-loud hypnosis, and how a band became a genre’s steady pulse without repeating itself.
