Infinite Arms, the third album from Band of Horses, marks a moment of cohesion and creative confidence for the group. Embracing a richer, more roots-infused Americana sound, the bandnow a tight-knit five-piecedelivers an album that feels both expansive and warmly intimate. With Ben Bridwells evocative vocals leading the charge, tracks like Evening Kitchen and Blue Beard unfold with gentle harmonies and understated grandeur, creating a gentle yet powerful listening experience that resonates deeply.

This album is also a shining example of songwriting maturity. The layered arrangementsstrings, pedal steel, subtle percussioncomplement heartfelt lyrics and melody-driven hooks without ever overwhelming them. Whether building to a quiet crescendo or settling into a tender refrain, Infinite Arms offers a beautifully measured journey that feels like a homecoming, grounded in heartfelt simplicity yet infused with a majestic sensibility.

Reviews

After two albums on independent labels ... a much bigger, more spacious sound has been achieved without sacrificing intimacy or their old elemental sense of wonder. The Guardian

Featuring a new lineup, a rather loose definition of Americana, and funding from a major label, Band of Horses' third album is a game changer. AllMusic

Infinite Arms is their strongest album yet, perfecting their instantly recognisable sound with Bridwell in fine voice throughout. Clash

Band of Horses finally sound comfortable being what they are: A rock band. A really fucking good rock band. Paste Magazine
