I don’t have too much of a story to relate to you about Fleet Foxes. Their music is pretty.
I was a little late to the game when their self-titled 2008 record came out. they were an example of me reading too much hype before actually hitting play. So then I get all, “meh… I don’t even care.” and put off listening to the record for a bit.
But then I really liked the medieval cover art and wanted the record for my collection.
Occasionally my cute wife does super-duper sweet things for me and she bought me the record!
The album grew on me heavy and now I love Fleet Foxes. Happy music.
They will be in Vancouver to perform at the Vogue Theatre on April 30th. I can tell that their live show will be one where you get wrapped up in the beautiful harmonies and ambiance. Maybe not too different from Band of Horses.
Their new record is out May 3rd (my brother’s birthday!) and I found an MP3 for you if you care to listen.

“if I had an orchard I’d work till I’m sore.” Nice, its like a theme song for Alix at Sea Cider! ha.
