Free Music Notes for Fleet Foxes
Free Music Review: I call it Medieval Folk Music
Hit: 5 Stars
I think Fleet Foxes have been around for a while, but they were new to me. I read a review of their CD in a magazine, comparing their sound to Crosby, Stills, & Nash of the 60's & 70's. This is a very fair comparison, as Fleet Foxes have beautiful harmonies. Something about the music feels very airy and woodsy, which is very hard to explain. The songs make me feel like I am in a medieval castle or forest. "Your Protector" is probably my favorite. Your 17 year old son may not be wild about this (mine is not) but it has a definite siren's call effect for aging or wanna-be hippies who missed their calling. Beautiful!Free Music Review: Quite Incredible
Hit: 5 Stars
This record really defies description. It's at the same time very baroque, very Indian influenced folk, and very prog-rock, in the vein of softer Yes. Agreed, I do hear "Pet Sounds" era Brian Wilson and later Zombies mixed in -- But this record does a masterful job of not overloading the production with too many influences. And the songs are extremely well constructed and performed.
I bought the 2 LP set that includes the "Sun Giant" EP, which also comes with a code to download the MP3s for both albums.
All and all, a very satisfying addition to my music collection.
Free Music Review: Wow...
Hit: 5 Stars
I listened to some excerpts on their Myspace, and at first wasn't so sure. But this album is really, really good as a complete album. Everyone says it sounds like MMJ, which is true only on the surface of the vocals. The sound and feel to me are closer to Midlake or the Sadies or even Blindmelon, but better than those (and I like them quite a bit). Haunting and folksy, the album moves perfectly from one song to the next and in reality I can't even pick out individual highlights, because I feel like there are no weak points on the album. Great all the way through.Free Music Review: I've yet to stop
Hit: 5 Stars
I have yet to stop listening to this album. It's been awhile since I've enjoyed an album this much. The only "low point", if you can even call it that, is Tiger Mountain Peasant Song. It's not a bad song. It's just a lot quieter and softer than the very energetic first couple of songs on the album. And it really quickly changes the mood on you. But things pick up quickly after this more somber song.
All in all, if you've listened to the samples and like what you hear you should buy it. It is very enjoyable, and I eagerly await their next album.
Free Music Review: The best of 08?
Hit: 5 Stars
Okay... The year is only halfway over, but if I were a betting man, I would bet this is going to be the best album this year come December.
Fleet Foxes is not the type of musical act I would normally listen to. I only purveyed this album because so many musical sources were drinking the Fleet Foxes Kool-Aid. But alas, the critical acclaim is warranted! ...for once.
Not being a fan of this genre, I couldn't really tell you why I liked it without sounding ignorant. But I do know what I like and... I like this album... a lot.
