Artist: Fleet Foxes
Album: Fleet Foxes
Label: Sub Pop
I had heard lots of good things about Fleet Foxes and I previewed them a bit on iTunes, but I couldn't get into them at first. Still, after so many great reviews and not to mention the trusty label of Sub Pop (along with the likes of Band of Horses, Iron & Wine, Postal Service, The Shins . . . etc.) I decided to give this Seattle band another chance. The next attempt I fell love with this record. My hesitancy was the simplicity combined with the folk sound seemed like a boring record but with each listen i realize the complexity and beauty in each song. The simple intrumentation makes for a great support for the gorgeous harmonies and can even be haunting at times. It is as if Crosby Stills and Nash mated with Band of Horses at a Arts Festival/Renaissance Fair . . . wierd I know. I recommend putting on your favorite flannel shirt, growing the beard out, become a woodsman, and listen to Fleet Foxes.
Here is the music video of track two called White Winter Hymnal to inspire the beards and flannel . . . and who doesn't love claymation
