Third Band of Horses album out soon

Band of Horses has not been heard from in quite a while — almost three years to be exact. Their last studio effort, 2007’s Cease to Begin, which was relatively well received. But finally there’s good news from the Band of Horses camp.

The band is about to release their third album on May 18. The new album will be entitled Infinite Arms. The slight kink to the release though is on which label it will be released. At this point, it’s still up in the air. There’s talk that Sub Pop, which released the first two albums, will release it. But there’s also talk that the label probably won’t be releasing it.

Infinite Arms will also mark the debut of touring members Tyler Ramsey and Bill Reynolds. Phil Ek, who produced the band’s other albums, returns to the producer’s chair alongside the band. The album is also notable, according to frontman Ben Bridwell, because all five members contributed to the recording of the album, which even prompted him to say that this is the first Band of Horses record.
