FLEET FOXES

I'm not sure of the exact date it happened, but I won't forget the moment I found the Fleet Foxes album sitting in my car. I popped it in and was so thankful a friend of mine had accidentally forgotten to take it home with them. Immediately I was sucked into the soulful vocals, entrancing harmonies and overall feeling of the record. Subpop Records released the the Fleet Foxes first full length album (self-titled) in June 2008.

"This record is like our first steps and like any newborn, we made mistakes and made discoveries and in the process better found out who we are! That is what the record represents to me when I hear it now—the process we went through to find ourselves the first time. We cannot wait to continue making records, to explore all there is to explore in this vast musical landscape and test ourselves in new ways through song.”


Personally, I cannot wait to hear what they come out with next... but for now "He Doesn't Know Why" will still be my favorite Fleet Foxes track. Enjoy!
