Music Under Fire

This begins yet another long saga for one of MUF's favorite bands as Band of Horses enter the studio and we just have to stick it out with updates on their progress until the day comes we can listen to it. We don't have any date the band has set, there is no name of the album, in fact, Ben Bridwell and his buddies are just entering the Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Alabama. Their studio selection should come as no surprise, since the band has grown with the sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd through the years, who also just so happened to record here.

There's a small joke for your Band of Horses fans in their note below and it might seem odd, but could you imagine a record of theirs with more than 10 songs? Both Cease To Begin and Everything All the Time are 10 each. Really anything these guys touch turns to gold regardless of how many songs they make this time around, so in this case, the more the better.

If you missed our review of their show at the TLA in Philly, you can check it out here as well as a video we shot of them performing a CCR cover of "Effigy".

From the band:

Now we begin to also never start stopping again :-)

We're headed to historic Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama this week to officially start the jammering. You've more than likely heard many of the fantastic records birthed there, but just in case http://www.blogger.com/www.muscleshoalssound.org has a complete discography and awesome slide show available for your curious viewing pleasure.

We're extremely excited to get back at the business of recording songs. Here are a couple things I can safely say this album will include:

*More Than 10 Songs!!!!
*Songs written by all members of BoH (Ryan, Creighton, Bill, Tyler, and me)
*Christopher Wilson brand beautiful artwork
*Not The Funeral
*Music

So here we go. It's hard to say how long this will take to complete, so I'm not even gonna speculate for fear something will go terribly wrong. Thanks always to all of you who've supported us throughout this past year and beyond. We really love you.
