Band of Horses, originally known as Horses, is an American rock band formed in 2004 in Seattle by Ben Bridwell. They have been active since their formation and continue to create music to this day.

With a unique sound that blends indie rock and folk influences, Band of Horses has captivated audiences worldwide. Their heartfelt lyrics and melodic compositions have earned them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

Since their debut album release in 2006, Band of Horses has consistently delivered memorable performances and chart-topping hits. Their music resonates with listeners, evoking emotions and painting vivid musical landscapes.

for a lot of reasons, 'cease to begin' is the perfect title for this new record. not only do the songs themselves weave this theme through the record, but stopping and starting anew is also a reflection of the past year and a half for band of horses. though they worked with producer phil ek again, as they did on everything all the time, much has changed between the fairly recent then and now. there have been band members who have come and gone, including mat brooke, who left the band to pursue other interests and his own band. for core members ben bridwell, rob hampton and creighton barrett, there has been a move from seattle, wa to mt. pleasant, sc, a relocation that had been planned for some time so that they could all be closer to their families. and, close friends and family have come and gone - some far too early. necessarily shot through with these experiences, the songs on 'cease to begin' are strikingly beautiful, if less elliptical and more straightforward, with more sophisticated arrangements than the last record. ben's voice carries a feeling of both strength and vulnerability and it captures the very essence of the human spirit, the reconciliation of attachment and detachment, the strength that's found through suffering, and the understanding that we are as significant as we are insignificant. this is what 'cease to begin' is all about. on sub pop.
