Band of Horses hasn’t released a new album since 2012’s “Mirage Rock,” but that hasn’t stopped lead singer Ben Bridwell from getting in the giving spirit. Bridwell’s unmistakable voice takes on new life with the newly penned song, “The Christmas Thing.”
Not to be upstaged by the Sub-Pop artist, Grandaddy leader Jason Lytle lends a complimentary assist with the backing of Brave Baby. You can download the track for free over . It an indie Christmas miracle, little Jimmy!
A note from Band of Horses:
Well hay everybody!
Happiest Holiday wishes to you all!
We got you a pretty, silly present in the form of a song.
While plotting evil schemes for the new BoH record roll out, this little nugget of a song nudged me.
The “letap obsess over writing and recording a song” thing seemed ill-timed until I figured it might just be the Christmas spirit trying to make contact. Having gladly accepted and relented, I present you with “The Christmas Thing.”
With the greatest of good fortune, I was able to employ the services of the bonkers talented Charleston band Brave Baby and Mr. Jason Lytle himself of other notable Yuletide as well as secular classics.
As far those evil schemes for the new album windup, I hope this is but one of very many treats to throw your way as we chug along toward release day. Please stay in touch as we hope to please you very much.
Thank you for caring about us.
Happiest Everything Wishes to ALL
-The Horses
