FLEET FOXES - Fleet Foxes
Seattle's Fleet Foxes' full-length is a confident, carefully tailored follow-up to their debut EP Sun Giant. The songs are atmospheric, leaving the listener lost in moments of reverie drenched in reverb, and captured moments that are at times pastoral. Their sound is hard to classify, as it's clearly inspired by a diverse range of music: equal parts gospel, choral, celtic folk, and west coast rock reminiscent of bands such as Steeleye Span, CSNY, the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and My Morning Jacket. If there is one thing that is apparent after listening to the Fleet Foxes, it is that they craft baroque songs that are rich in harmonic vocal rounds, and compliment them with rich, swirling strings. A refreshing treat for this summer.
