Mirage Rock by Band of Horses
Mirage Rock is an album by Band of Horses, released in 2012. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 7 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Knock Knock”, on 7 lists with a best position of #51.
Mirage Rock, Band of Horses' fourth studio album, came out on Columbia on September 18, 2012, and for it Ben Bridwell's band handed the controls to veteran producer Glyn Johns. The lineup that cut it was the steadiest the band ever had, with Tyler Ramsey on guitar, Bill Reynolds on bass, Creighton Barrett on drums and Ryan Monroe alongside Bridwell, and the result is loose, sunny, old-school rock and roll.
"Knock Knock" went out ahead of it, a scrappy, hard-charging rave-up. Reviews were mostly warm at the time, but the verdict inside the band soured: Bridwell later called the record stilted and insincere, fans came round to his view, and its songs have rarely turned up in the set since the tour that promoted it.
