Pitchfork

Information about the new Band of Horses album just keeps dripping out like a leaky faucet. First we knew it was finished and got some song titles, then we heard one of the new songs live, then we chatted with Ben Bridwell about the album (and, uh, lots of other stuff), then we found out the LP title, and now we have the tracklist. Whew!

What's next? Probably the details of the first single, then the contents of the deluxe edition, the iTunes live session, the fan-directed video contest, the world tour, the Girl Talk remix, the second world tour (now with orchestra), the stopgap EP, the third album, the breakup, the reunion, the greatest hits collection...

Sorry, got a bit ahead of myself there.

Anyway, the important details: Cease to Begin is out October 9 on Sub Pop, and it will contain the following songs:

Cease to Begin:

01 Is There a Ghost
02 Ode to LRC
03 No One's Gonna Love You
04 Detlef Schrempf
05 The General Specific
06 Lamb on the Lam (in the city)
07 Islands on the Coast
08 Marry Song
09 Cigarettes, Wedding Bands
10 Window Blues
