Band of Horses have announced their sixth studio album and first record in more than five years, Things Are Great, which will be released 21 January 2022 via BMG. Sonically, the album is a return to their earlier work and the kind of raw ethos that lies at the heart of Band of Horses. The album is available for pre-order HERE.
Following its premiere on 6Music, first single “Crutch” has already gained tremendous support from fans and media alike.
“Things Are Great’s lead single, ‘Crutch’ finds a pleasing midpoint between the Shins and My Morning Jacket. But mostly it sounds like a hungry young band influenced by Band of Horses, which I mean as a huge compliment.” – STEREOGUM
“’Crutch cleverly hides the anxious ruminations of its lyrics behind a breezy wall of sun-soaked acoustic strums and the sort of simple, ringing electric lead hook that this quintet has long specialized in.” – GUITAR WORLD
“’Crutch’ is a pleasant, guitar-heavy jangle that feels both bittersweet and romantic.” – CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

Band of Horses have been making their mark on the US festival circuit this summer, playing Lollapalooza, Firefly and Austin City Limits along with their own sold-out headline shows, and now prepare to embark on an extensive trek across the EU and UK in support of Things Are Great.
