REVIEW: Band of Horses 'Mirage Rock'

For a while back there it looked like Michael Kiwanuka's to lose but Band of Horses fourth album, Mirage Rock, produced by 70-year-old British producer Glyn Johns, is just terrific.  It sounds like an album of garage-rock covers of Southern/SoCal classics which you've somehow managed, by the most cockeyed set of coincidences imaginable, never to hear. B+

    Pitchfork disagrees:

    "Mirage Rock is so lightweight and inconsequential that it really does seem more like an illusion than a record; it's wispy and indiscernible, as if the people who made it had no vision for what it should be."
