Song of the Week (Band of Horses - Is There A Ghost)

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It appears JZ, Founder of this blog and Guardian of our beloved SOTW, has stepped out of Texas for the weekend. Alas, it's hard work, but someone's gotta go to Jazz Fest. That being said, I've been temporarily appointed as Joint-Managing Conservator of this precious gem. Good to be with you.

This installment of SOTW is a very special one, and it reflects the heavy anticipation of BOH's new album, Infinite Arms. For the moment, we'll pretend as though the album wasn't leaked weeks ago via the interwebs.

Without further ado, I present to you Is There A Ghost:

Discovering the genius that is Band of Horses on a roadtrip through Costa Rica, I can affirm that this song goes down best with highways, rolled-down windows, and cigarettes. If you haven't started smoking, you probably should. It's amazing.

So set this guy on repeat, roll down your windows, and jam the Eff out. It's a good one.

Enjoy,

Benton W.
