Love this guys, saw them live, even met Josh, Rob and... "Piano man" (I can't remember his name but he did sneak me and a friend in the venue, we're 17 and we had no IDs so I kinda feel an idiot not remembering his name. I was stoned though) and, is it just me or... there's ice between them, up on the stage?
Not sure how many of you listen to j. tillman's solo work (drummer/singer of this great band) but I did a cover of one of his songs, if anyone has nothing better to do, and that's really the only reason you should waste your time watching it, you might could give it a view and let me know what you think. Thanks a lot!
@frits121 Wtf are you bullshitting about? This is definitely not a fucking boy band. They write their own songs and can actually play instruments. Oh, and they don't fucking dance, thank god.
fleet foxes is pure raw beautiful music, normally I'd leave people to their own opinions however anyone who can't see the beauty in this band will probably never know beauty in their lifetime.
@PatagonianRailways Yeah but I think I saw something similar before, a guy named Paul playing the same bass along the past century, in a small band called.. the Beetles ..or maybe the Beatles or sort of ;)
@floosybow they'll be in aussie (where i live) for the new year. but i'll be in new zealand. P.S i cant get over bedouin dress. its by far my favourite song released this year.
@wildcomfort88,The whole album is amazing,Love Bedouin Dress,The Cascades is another of my fav's,That's a pure shame you will miss them.I'd be tempted to cancel N.Z :D
Yeah, dude. Sun Giant is an EP. Extended Play. Basically a longer single. Self-Titled and Helplessness Blues are LPs, or what are generally referred to as 'albums'.
@TygaWoooo .this is a UK late night show hosted by Jools Holland (Jools was the pianist in UK Band Squeeze in the 70s/early 80s). Fleet Foxes have a huge following over here.
The more I listen to this song, the more I feel it's going to act as a sort-of anthem to me. I've got my fingers crossed I can see them in July...hearing this live would make life just a wee bit less miserable.
Going to Rome by train next week from Glasgow and holy shit, i'm taking these guys with me. First time i heard this track and you gotta think, that album's gonna be a winner for some travelling music!!
@JackRhysSmith Haha. That's really funny. Yeah. That review was totally ridiculous. I'm sure the reason it was so bad was because Robin probably refused to play their game.
Patti Smith has described how she once contemplated suicide, but had decided against it on the basis that she would miss the next Rolling Stones record. Now, at last, there's a good reason for the new generation to think twice before jumping ship.
@Alexizephyrmage9 yo pussboy that comment is from 4 months ago....you should be listening to the music, not looking at comments from almost half a year ago
Robin is such an artist. These lyrics paint the most incredible picture, in my opinion. I can't even really express the emotions that go through me when I listen to this song.
EPIC! Such a gorgeous, soulful song. Brian Wilson must be a favourite of this great band. It aso reminds me of the band, Lambchop, who released a brilliant country soul record called 'Nixon', some years ago.
@FlyBird i wasnt being a smartass. i just meant his voice was cracking due to the effort and emotion he puts across. something which sets him aside from any other singers on the circuit at the moment. think you re gettin a bit carried away pal. people on here are suggesting that he was struggling, i dont think so.
@mrnicey2006 Now you're just assuming that there aren't any good, emotional singers this generation besides Robin. Which now makes you a dumbass. Good job.
@FlyBird ok pal, whatever you think. im just here enjoying some nice tunes. you ve obviously got a chip on your shoulder about something. in my opinion robin is the best singer going about at the moment. theres loads of great singers out there but in my opinion nobody puts this kinda sound across as well as he does. as iv stated a couple of times, its only my opinion, which im entitled to as you are. tho reading back the posts i would say it is you who comes across as a smartass. in my opinion.
Fucking Epic!
