Band of Horses usually lie deep in the sweet spot between the dreamy Nineties guitar majesty of Built to Spill and gorgeously harmonized, golden-bearded Seventies folk rock. But this has more going on under the hood than usual, implying the band's upcoming LP will be its most rocking yet. Ben Bridwell sings about "a ramshackle crew with something to prove" over guitars that are more Crazy Horse than America while the drums gallop out of the garage.

“Is It True”

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
