Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes

4.0/5
Take the Shins, infuse them with the earthiness and mind-blowing harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash, and you get Fleet Foxes. But don't be fooled by my comparisons: Fleet Foxes are in no way derivative of any bands that have come before them. They have their own unique sound, due in part to the impeccable production of their debut album. The record is fueled by harmonies that you just don't hear in most modern music, but when lead singer Robin Pecknold sings alone, the result is just as beautiful and natural. Lead single "White Winter Hymnal" is the definition of the subtle beauty that Fleet Foxes evokes throughout the whole record. It is a flawless album.
