Hands down, Fleet Foxes have inserted themselves on my list of all-time favorite bands. Fleet Foxes uniquely summon that folksy, spiritual, and pastoral sound from the days of yore. To me, they echo the sounds of Cat Stevens, Van Morrison, The Band, Gillian Welch, and Bob Dylan. Feel free to add to this list as you see fit.
The songs on Fleet Foxes' eponymous album promise to send you to a simpler time: when tension could be released by breathing fresh mountain air; when comfort could be found in the shade of a birch tree; when the face of God could be discovered in Nature's bounty; when Flora and Fauna were closer than machines and technology to our personal fulfillment.
And I've gone off the deep end. But seriously, listen to this song and the whole album if you can. You won't be disappointed. I'm so effing happy that folk music has returned to the scene.
