Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

...however having recently bought the Fleet Foxes album, I am compelled to rave about them. Now this band are like no other in todays music, however I guess there comparisons can be made with an earlier more ecletic mix of crosby stills and nash mixed with fleetwood mac, add a smuttering of Brian Wilson from the beach boys and Bob Dylan and your kinda getting close. Their routes are definietly in folk music, with what I like to call "Peasant Rock"......weired ...
