Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Performed by: Fleet Foxes
Editorial Reviews:
Seattle's Fleet Foxes traffic in baroque harmonic pop. They draw influences from the traditions of folk, pop, choral, gospel, sacred harp singing, West Coast music, traditional music from Ireland to Japan, film scores, and their NW peers. The subject matter ranges from the natural world and familial bonds to bygone loves and stone cold graves.

Summary: Spiritual Connection to the Earth
Comment: This is one of the most original albums I've heard over the last several years. Earthy folk ballads suffused with choir sound gives this album an Edenic feel. Many tracks sound like lush soundtracks accompanying a sojourn through green shimmering glades. But this music is not precious. It's earthy and feels authentic and never pretentious.
I don't read a lot of music reviews, but I have to assume Fleet Foxes have been compared to a band with a similar sensibility and sound--My Morning Jacket.
Those who like the Fleet Foxes might look to these bands: Rosebuds, Midlake, Marjorie Fair, and the Innocence Mission.

Summary: Gets old really quick
Comment: So I was very excited to get this album. Previewing the tracks and reading all the great reviews it had to be a winner. But after listening through the album only a couple times I'm already tired of it. I have to say they did a great job but it's an album that you listen to every once in a while for me.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Folk music I can dig
Comment: I never did get into all the folk music of the 60s. Fleet Foxes reminds me of that era so why do I like this album so much?? Go figure.
