Product Description

 
Personnel: Gwil Owen (flute). Audio Mixer: Phil Ek. Recording information: Avast Studio, Seattle, WA (2007); London Bridge Studio (2007). Arrangers: Robin Pecknold; Nicholas Peterson; Casey Wescott; Skyler Skjelset. With their self-titled full-length Sub Pop debut, Fleet Foxes unveil an impressively confident and engaging set of indie-folk tunes. While singer/guitarist Robin Pecknold's warm, resonant voice clearly brings to mind My Morning Jacket's Jim James, his tight vocal harmonies with other members of the Seattle-based band evoke vintage Beach Boys more than anything else (see the airy "He Doesn't Know Why"). And though the group's gentle instrumentation and pastoral aesthetic affectionately acknowledge 1960s/'70s British folk, they steer clear of self-consciously quirky "freak folk" meanderings, and opt instead for immaculately crafted chamber-pop, best evinced by the swooning "White Winter Hymnal." One of the finest indie releases of 2008, FLEET FOXES casts an undeniably enchanting spell.

Here's a new sub-genre for you... Alt-Appalachian.

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2008
The Bottom Line: A breathtakingly gorgeous piece of work. I simply can't recommend it enough.
Review: You know how they say never to judge a book by its cover? I'd like to add a corollary to that often true cliché - and you're probably expecting me to say that you should never judge a CD by its cover, either. Which is mostly true, though in the case...

Old Weird America is Alive & Well Through the Sounds of Fleet Foxes

Date of Review:  Aug 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Fleet Foxes' Self-Titled Debut Album is a Breath of Fresh Air Revitalizing the Sound of Americana with a Dash of Baroque Pop.
Review: With American music in danger of being very stale and predictable, there's always something that goes against the grain. Sometimes, relying on its roots to stand out ended up being the right thing. In the late 1960s, Bob Dylan's former backing band...

Fanning the Fleet Foxes Flames

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line tells you anything it wants - any old lie will do.
Review: Call me an elitist, and I probably am, but I hate hype. Once something reaches a certain level of hype, with everyone exclaiming how amazingly awesome it is, I become predisposed to hate it for its sheer popularity. Plus, after a certain plateau of...
