Seattle's Fleet Foxes
are the perfect soundtrack to a cold, rainy afternoon. Like a calm
Brian Wilson filtered through My Morning Jacket and Band of Horses, the
band's lead singer, 21 year old Robin Pecknold is a remarkable musical
talent.
Like a church choir led by your favorite indie band,
the Fleet Foxes sound is a mix of glistening, layered vocal harmonies,
softly plucked guitars and a sense of longing and wonder that only open
skies and vast wilderness can evoke.
It sounds simultaneously now and forty and one hundred years ago.
Free of time, this album, this band, Fleet Foxes, are here to stay. By Nick Christie
