Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes [6/3]

Artist:

Fleet Foxes

Description:

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.
