Fleet Foxes

After a lot of moving this week, I’m finally back in place and have plenty of new posts to bring.
Fleet Foxes are a great place to start. Their sound is novel, for this decade, like the first time you heard The Shins. A current favorite in the blogosphere and nearly everywhere else from Rollingstone to Pitchfork, Fleet Foxes’ music takes the listener back a few decades, leaves them stranded with an acoustic guitar and tambourines, and tells them to shut the f**k up and enjoy the ride. Of course you will not have any trouble enjoying “Mykonos’ ” sound because it is ‘feel good summery, listen to it and take a dip in a lake’ type music. Their music at the same time is mysterious in it’s delivery:
And you will go to Mykonos
With a vision of a gentle coast
And a sun to maybe dissipate
Shadows of the mess you made
Take a listen. enjoi
Mykonos

Imeem has a playlist for a lot off what they’ve ever recorded. Just search Fleet Foxes and click on the first or second playlist
