Damn You Fleet Foxes!
Damn you Fleet Foxes and your full-length debut–that I cannot stop listening to. I have tried, but somehow, I have still managed to listen to the album a full six times through today-alone. Damn you and your perfect pacific northwest sound, which reminds me of church hymnals sung in cedar churches by earnest hippies. Damn the fact that Pitchfork gave the album a (deserved) 9.0, cementing its spot in the best of end of the year lists, guaranteeing that you will no longer going to be a sweet Seattle secret. But bless you for writing songs that soothe and salve. I thought it would be nearly impossible to top the beauty of “Mykonos” from the Sun Giant EP, but you’ve managed to do so with tunes like “Your Protector” and long time fan favorite “Oliver James.” The success really couldn’t happen to more deserving, talented fellows. So really, Congratulations.
