Song of the Day: "Compliments" -- Band of Horses



I should hope you already know all about Band of Horses, my favorite Seattle-based indie band and one of the few things that Pitchfork and I agree is fantastic. If you don't, immediately go listen to "The Funeral." I'll wait.

Now that you are immediately smitten with them, allow me to bring some joy into your hearts: Band of Horses is due to release a new album, Infinite Arms, on May 18. Seems an eternity to wait, but if I can make it until April 22 for the NFL Draft, which has been the longest anticipated event of my 2010, you and I can together make it until mid-May. This is the first track they've given us off of that album, and it's a doozy.

I would like to make the side note that the trippy effects in this video are a visual interpretation of what it is like to have the spins while you are drunk. What this video looks like when everything is melding in and out of itself constantly is what I feel like when I am very drunk and going to black out if I have any more. I hope everyone appreciates that insight into the alcoholic side of my life.

I bet you get a lot of compliments down there
