Song of the Day #28: “The Funeral” by Band of Horses

26 Jun

This 2006 hit single from this Seattle based Indie Rock/Folk band Band of Horses (previously known as Horses) is a very dark and sullen song.  The album “Everything All the Time” has a very dark tone to it but the singer has a pretty nice and uplifting voice making for a great melodic balance.  The Funeral really grabbed my interest because it sounded like nothing else I had heard out of the Indie scene, unlike most of the songs that mostly use acoustic and have a dry feel to them.  This song is very well recorded and has an epic sound to it with great musical backings to make for a great experience in all.
