Band of Horses is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of The New Year, Midlake, Carissa's Wierd, Sakanaction and Jason Lytle.

They run in the same orbit as The War on Drugs, Blind Pilot, Iron & Wine, The Airborne Toxic Event and Minus the Bear, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Grandaddy, Holy Fawn and Chief, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
