Mirage Rock is the fourth studio album by Band of Horses and was released on September 18, 2012 on Columbia Records.[1] Produced by Glyn Johns, the album was preceded by the single, "Knock Knock".[2]

While the album was initially met with generally favorable reviews, the band and fans alike have since become quite critical of it, with Bridwell admitting Mirage Rock to be stilted and insincere.[3] Songs from the album have been rarely performed since the album's promotional tour.[4]
