Their first album is still their best:

I've been disappointed by their subsequent releases, which is a shame. I quite enjoyed that album...

Heard it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Truly an awesome track.

Yeah remember that one. Read they changed lead singers. Is Funeral with new or old singer?

From their Wiki:

Ben Bridwell (guitar, vocals) and Mat Brooke (guitar) formed the band in 2004 after the break-up of their previous band, Carissa's Wierd.[4] The band initially received attention from Sub Pop after opening for Iron & Wine during Seattle area shows. In 2005, the band released Tour EP, which was sold exclusively at shows and on Sub Pop's website.

Their first full-length album, Everything All the Time, was recorded in 2005 with producer Phil Ek and released on March 21, 2006. The album featured Chris Early on bass with Sera Cahoone and Tim Meinig sharing drumming duties.[5] The album's first single, The Funeral, has been used in numerous television series, films, video games, and advertisements.

On July 13, 2006, Band of Horses appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman without Brooke, who left the band[6] to form Grand Archives, who have since signed to Sub Pop[7] and released two albums.
