In what can only be described as a thoroughly positive review, spinner.com gave Band of Horses very high praise indeed for their gig earlier today at the Leeds Festival.

Says reviewer Stephen Dowling:

It could almost be 1998 – Band of Horses’ psychedelic sweep of sound during their NME/Radio 1 Stage set on Saturday sounds at times like the lysergic symphonies of Mercury Rev at their most approachable. But no — this is 2010, the year band of Horses have gone from cult concern to one of the year’s most deserving successes.

Beyond that, he says the band is indeed “one of Leeds’ understated gems.”

Well, hell yeah, ha?!  The guys are really dominating (no surprise).   Next up is the Reading Festival tomorrow, and I don’t think the reviews that come from that show will be any different!

I’ll be on the lookout for more reviews from overseas, but in the meantime you can check out the full review here.
