I found an article over at NPR and more on the YouTubes.
KEXP Presents: Band Of Horses
March 3, 2014
Ben Bridwell, Ryan Monroe and Tyler Ramsey are performing their old hits in a new fashion: huddled around a single microphone. Enjoy "No One's Gonna Love You" in a way you haven't heard it before.
by JIM BECKMANN
"Are you digging our laid-back vibe?" Band of Horses band leader Ben Bridwell asked the audience during the group's recent concert at Seattle's Moore Theatre. Following their recently released live recording, Acoustic at the Ryman, Bridwell and company chose to perform very loose, rootsy interpretations of their most well-known songs, often gathering the core string players — Bridwell, Ryan Monroe and Tyler Ramsey — around a single microphone, old-timey style.
"It's not our usual mode of performing live," Ben confessed when the one-time locals stopped by KEXP earlier that afternoon for a live session with Cheryl Waters, but the fragility and tension of playing the songs that way was hard to deny. Though the method may be older than the dust on your grandpappy's boots, the result is a fresh take on the band's hits, old and new. Enjoy this homecoming of sorts as Band of Horses return in a way you haven't heard them before.
Watch Band of Horses' entire session on KEXP's YouTube channel.

It's just so damn good.
KEXP has a ton of other really great performers, recorded live in studio, on Youtube as well.
Make sure to check them out too.

Their song, No One's Gonna Love You, is one I've always liked but hearing it in this form, all acoustic with no audience, is amazing.
BAND OF HORSES LYRICS
"No One's Gonna Love You"
It's looking like a limb torn off
Or altogether just taken apart
We're reeling through an endless fall
We are the ever-living ghost of what once was
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
And anything to make you smile
It is my better side of you to admire
But they should never take so long
Just to be over then back to another one
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone,
They could have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard.
Anything to make you smile
You are the ever-living ghost of what once was
I never want to hear you say
That you'd be better off
Or you liked it that way
But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do
No one's gonna love you more than I do
But someone
They should have warned you
When things start splitting at the seams and now
The whole thing's tumbling down
Things start splitting at the seams and now
If things start splitting at the seams and now,
It's tumbling down
Hard
