Fleet Foxes "Mykonos"

[geoffreycac]

I have just discovered this wonderful group after hearing Mykonos on the backing to this equally stunning video of surfing at Byron Bay and am much better for the experience.

[baco82]

[juveforez]

What a treat!!!!!!

[beisja]

the perfect perfomance

[xIloveRandom]

flawless performance

[DTS996]

Oh my God J Tillman is amazing

[JaneLame]

J. Tillman's stunning back-vox steal the show. As usual.

[bboymummy]

Holy fucking mole this song just gets me in a good mood no matter what!!!!  =)

[Jrumor2121]

Jesus' distant cousin.

[ph0bicc]

WHAT?

I SANG THE OOOOOOH'S ON MY OWN?

NO.

[nefronen]

Me and my friend have a band called Different Shades of Grey. We've taken influences from Fleet Foxes, Band Of Horses, Simon & Garfunkel etc. If you search for DSOGMUSIC you'll find us on YouTube! We currently have 3 songs on MySpace and 3 videos on YouTube!

Bye!

[asarapi]

Beautiful performance!

[playwidmymind]

18 people will never make it to mykonos....

[Ozziguy6]

18 people are jealous they can't grow a glorious beard.

[klsx2010]

One of the best FF songs out!

[MegaEliotNess]

This is a really cool English band similar to Fleet Foxes : Joseph James and the Lost Society, check out Though I Have Wronged You

[Sergio0Oo]

robin sings with so much courage, its amazing, 

[tamariderr]

man, who thinks the guitarist on the right is gutted that of all the bands to end up in when he cant grow a beard it was fleet foxes... One of the beardiest!

[alhnbp]

what a stoned song

i like it 

[positivity70]

Sublime

[brunofelix20]

It reminds me "Cream".

[Ariesbetch]

indredible. i have no words worthy.

[tripshow]

you better not fucking forget at 2:51......he seems down and real.

[midlakefan1979]

A british band that you might like that are similar to Fleet Foxes are called The FOSSIL COLLECTIVE. Go and check out the video for On and On. Its very good. Bye Bye xx

[catsmanzerik]

@midlakefan1979 the song itself is good but the videos kinda fucked

[despoinaki4]

MYKONOS GREEEEECE

[raulweber]

esta musica é uma das melhores deste grupo,som espetacular ,unico inconfundivel, parabens

This song is one of the best of this group, spectacular sound, unique unmistakable, parabens

[zodoroth]

awesomee!

[astroman2012]

i love the harmonies the sensitive slightly muted guitar playing but what i love most about this clip is ROSARIO DAWSONS FUCKING BEAVER!!

[ardiesken]

I saw them in the marquee , 2009 Rock Werchter... mesmorized!

[mrtheok]

Mykonos what a beautiful island!

[jingsken]

best band ever wow

[logix2010]

elongated bean can shaker ....BIGTIME

[nakedcook42]

I love this...when I first heard it I thought why are the radio station playing something from the 60's all the time...HUH but I still it has that feel to it...Just fabulous

[bellohighrep]

i dont understand why people continue to watch a video after they've made their shoddy judgements of it, then coose to give a thumbs down...

Why not leave and find something they do like??

[dislikefatshits]

how can people dislike this.. seriously

[algerath]

And God said: "Let thou hair grow longue and thou baird go Epic. Go, and spread the awesomness."

And thus, Fleet Foxes were born.

[Brothercole1994]

these Guys are just epic

[artintheforest]

why does this video end?

[paulie1000000]

God dam this is a sweet song

[tritochke]

:) i'm there fan from now on !

[backinnyc2010]

great song and vid

[StratoblasterRob]

The harmonies are so beautiful, but it kinda creeps me out, such high voices...

[TakeApart]

Now, this is real music.

[jratski]

bass player = legend.

[garybeardsell]

stunning vocals love the foxes gary m/c uk

[p8507255]

This is awesome, Cheers for upping mate :D

[xitaah]

I'd do her!

[underpants1965]

beautiful song, beautiful harmonies.........

[baggyboy7879]

i remember hearing this in early 2008 on radio 2, absolutely awesome song!

[ProphecyRJ]

Isn't it amazing how they ALL can sing beautifully, not just the lead singer.

[vver]

@ProphecyRJ well the support guitarrist never sings :]

[BiancaBilly]

@ProphecyRJ Nah, the rest can sing a little bit more effortless, I think. But that's not strange concidering they're not the ones who have to use their voices every song, the whole set and perhaps tour long. The lead singer has a very strong voice of his own.

[Enjoyer1987]

@ProphecyRJ except the guitarist))

[brimbo100]

this is one of the nicest songs ive heard for an age...

[FlesshGordon]

fucking greatness live

[sublemon25]

This guy looks like someone I've seen before.....Hmm, richard chamberlien in Shogun...no no no, Jesus ;) BTW effin great song!

[Big19Ben77]

First Aid Kit - true - is also great. Or check midlake or tideline

[springsten]

Josh Tillman, such an excellent voice

[ANTIQCOOL]

Can't get enough of this band, magic :-)

[kuubone]

This is a bloody great live performance! I simply love it. Their voice is awesome and gahh.. I love'em!

[MilesMacf]

loved this from the very first time I heard it and it still sounds unique and magnificent!

[simeco92]

i love the drummer's voice at the end

[tommyjxxx]

how good is it!

he reminds me of a legend song writer thomas darley... look him up some day

[soberbeans]

@simeco92 j. tillman. look up his solo work. stellar.

[jimboshizz]

@simeco92 his name's Josh Tillman, his solo records are awesome

[ledzeppelin26]

@jimboshizz Absolutely correct, J. Tillman is a talented bastard

[dinosaur1010101]

Brilliant song.

Would anyone recomend any similar artists?

[p0litik]

wilco?

[p0litik]

john, stills and nash?

[electricbixxh]

@dinosaur1010101 check out First Aid Kit

[welshwizard2001]

love this

[anneka56]

awesome remind me of cool 60's music

[bandrewes]

i find the singer resembles a sterotypical image of jesus...anyone agree?

[19Stefano67]

@bandrewes I agree

[dornerd]

@bandrewes I was just thinking exactly that.. But you know what they say, great minds think alike ;)

[kenny23g]

@bandrewes jesus was probably more olive skinned. But hey, he gave us easter eggs and I'm fine with that

[ProphecyRJ]

@bandrewes Yes, however he was more likely tanned because of his relative closeness to the equator.

[SuperMario505]

proper lush music and harmonies. musicianship at near perfection, strikes something from deep within. defo like america. will be seeing them live as soon as they tour again.

[spitty2009]

Me and my kids saw them in glasgow. Best gig ever, they are so cool.

[mooglesarerabbits]

bunchv fucking genius bastards

[TSchive]

from 2:05 on is amazing

[wuzzupkid9]

agreed - the sync is sexy! and wen the music builds up at the end... man these guys are good

[TheWhoever118]

Folk with ginger hair like this song, it's true

[da891982]

these guys are 60s clones!!!!! amazing band

[SaddamsStuntDoubL]

Words can't rightfully express how good this is.

[timeofthemumph]

I Loved Someone Else`s Comment.... These Are The New AMERICA..... But As Brilliant !!!

[dontpanicband]

Gotta grow me a beard and dig out my acoustic guitar-one word- awesome !

[LarryDickman757]

I fuckin love these guys

[SirPshycoSexy]

The American Beatles are born

[ErikaDotFive]

They are amazing live, wow.

[cdn42]

Yes, they are. They're even more awesome *properly* live, in the flesh as opposed to on YouTube. Don't miss any opportunity to see them! :)

[4tealicks]

the organ is whats makes the song really fuckin great as apposed to very fuckin great

[gpeddino]

Four part harmonies... wonderful!

[kezwillz]

simon cowell needs to watch this

[barrytron3030]

[arcanasanctum]

Fleet Foxes were the only good thing in that SNL episode.

[timeofthemumph]

Oh Come On !...... Rosario Dawson Is So Hot :)

[RedNietzsche]

[sgtkitty]

[domenicoloi72]

GREAT !!!

[h3rnaldo]

sencillamente brillantes

[BirdlandJazz]

thrilling vox!

[arbonne1805]

Interesting comment below about Fleet Foxes being the new 'America' (band). Yes, I agree. Not only do they tread similar musical turf, but Robin Pecknold is clearly the new Dewey Bunnell. Remarkable resemblance. Search for "America - 'Horse With No Name' [first UK performance]" and you'll see what I mean. Btw, Mykonos - awesome song. Destined for 'classic' status. Stuff like this restores my faith in music.

[Hotch7777]

"Brother you don't need to turn me away"

[Idontlikebanjo]

This is medievil music taken to a modern level , its utterly astoundingly beautiful on the ear !!!

[llGarnettoll]

agree - best comment I've heard on these boys

[wellhellooo]

I seen them in Glasgow last month & am still hooked!! My hubz randomly came across them on the radio & I've never looked back.  They are now included in my favourites along with CSN & John Martyn. No mean feat!

[rayfink26]

Obscenely good! My favourite Fleet Foxes song...

[lely91]

man, grow up. theres no reason to call him "an asshole" or "fuckin dumb". not everyone has the same taste in music as you. and it's not even like he made fun of them, or you. so gtfo.

[Mariekesone]

Splendid..great vocals with perfect harmonies and melodies...

Wonderful Music:-)

[huxwaks]

Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant harmonies, incredibly moving

[sodadreamer21]

this is my favorite song of theirs. its so haunting at 2:06

[bigmacontour]

i don't know, i should like this band and i am not going to knock their musical talent but this just doesn't do anything for me. i find it quite boring really

[huxwaks]

Just out of interest what does float your boat

[seanp139]

very like the band america of their time

[TheCarmenvillacampa]

This song just takes you somewhere really nice.

[richieconst30]

absolutely fuckin awesome!!!!

[zimmy81]

does it get any better than that? no. fank fuck theres goose pimply music that eleviates us

[TomHooligan2007]

When they played this in Manchester i nearly went into orgasm.

[clairsmithnbr]

Saw Fleet Foxes at Newcastle Academy last week and they were amazing.. so good live. Robin's voice so powerful and they seem generally nice guys... could watch them forever !

[StowBurst]

Amazing.. love this song!

[ktolico8]

[Binbay55]

[Rafo28579]

Great music.

[delic619]

[delic619]

[GreenieHunter]

[sharktown]

A very great song!!!!!!

[GoSkeit]

I love this, probably one of the songs I love the most.

[willowmansdaughter]

Just when I had resigned myself to living in a musical era when, for so many bands (too many bands), "vocalist" is simply a default position that goes to the guy who either a) plays guitar, b) drew the short straw, c) will do it because *somebody* has to, or, d) sucks the least, along come these guys, with voices enough for four bands. I hardly know where to put myself.
