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!
This band is "different". I was 37 years old when I bought this EP in 2008. I play my CD's in the car, yet this song has a "Pet Sounds" vibe. This song is in the spirit of Brian Wilson.
You realize that The Edge pioneered that "echoey" guitar work you're hearing?
Of course, it probably shares a greater resemblance to The Byrds, what with the jangle effect, but all the same, Alternative started in the 1980s, and this is Alternative.
@degree7 Well fair enough, to be honest mate I've heard a lot more by Fleet Foxes than U2 anyway so some of U2's stuff could well sound like Fleet Foxes. Both great bands though.
If you like band of horses/ midlake/ fleet foxes then you might like British band called FOSSIL COLLECTIVE. They have a great vid on youtube called ON & ON - check it out xx
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
@EFFANDJEFF yeah, we know wut u mean..........lol....they r fantastic, reminds me of someone exploring in a deep forest and discovering something magical....lol
The Sun Giant EP rarely left my cd player last summer when I drove around America eating cheerios, kashi bars, and some edible plants, sleeping in my car - oh, and seeing this great country.
Well thank you! What's holding you back? For the kind of trip I made, it didn't cost much - around a $950, with about $200 leftover. I started out of Laramie, WY went to the northwestern-most point of Washington state, down the Oregon coast to the Redwoods in northern CA, to Mt. Lassen, across I-50 in Nevada (the "loneliest road in America" to the Great Basin, then up through UT and back on I-80 to Laramie. I did live very frugally: I ate little (great for losing weight!) and camped in my car.
@trymboslize What the heck do you listen to? Techno? Oh gah. Just quit polluting this video's comment board and go listen to whatever crap you prefer over this legit art.
@TheAerochick13 i hate justin bieber,, but not as much as these shitheads,, and my new found friend could you kindly suck a fart from my ass,, if your not to busy, thanks!
@nosebuzz Oh wow, how mature. You're obviously way too out of my league for an arguement if you came up with such a clever and original insult that applies to me so well... NOT. Go get a life, and read a dictionary while you're at it. Maybe people will take you more seriously.
@TheAerochick13 iam just kiddin ya chick,,, i like to abuse people for no real reason, it gives me a buzz,, please dont take offence.. up the fart suckers!
Why do you all care for the bubbles? Just ignore them. There isn't even a video to watch, just a picture, so it isn't like they're getting in the way of anything. If it bothers you that much, close your eyes and listen to the song. It's much better that way anyway.
geheh' i love it to read these posts about the annotations i added, they were very impulsive, i didn't meant any of it. i love the music aswell. its funny u guys take the annotations very seriously.. don't get distracted by the annotations,.. cheers (L)
this song is fantastic; no need to fuck it up with political viewpoints. i mean shit, i agree with youpolitically , but i want to listen to fucking fleet foxes without all the fucking annotation bubbles. not fucking cool right now man.
I don't care what the politics of fleet fox are, I love a few of their songs. Very talented and the lead singer has a calm soothing voice. I'm an avowed right winger but can find comfort in good music.
Well, since this is an invitation to comment on the video, rather than the song, I have to say that it's clearly been produced by someone who doesn't get outside very much. Pity, as the info box is quite succinct. As for the song, it's yet another blissful example of the quality of this band. Music this good endures. It will figure in Rolling Stone and Mojo polls for decades after most current acts have long been forgotton.
I can´t stop dreaming with Fleet Foxes. And this is my favourite song, it´s like travelling across the country. And the prettiest harmony of FF: "ohhh my love".
oh my god. i just heard these guys on conan o'brien.. i am not a fan of guitars 'n vocals but this is the most beautiful thing i've heard in a long while..
i don't know the technical term for it, but how he changes between high and low melodies is just awesome, good music..
can it be a new genre? did not hear like it before, it is similar to others like Iron and Wine, but a bit different, the middle ages comes to my mind when i listen to this music, not that its Middle Age music, just gives the idea of how it must have felt to live 'round those times..
My roommate introduced me to this and described it as "baroque rock". From what little I gather from him (a former Music major) and my own introductory music classes, it seems that a lot of it lies in the vocal techniques, which are really evocative of some monastic chants I've heard. Polyphony and all that. Mind you, this is coming from somebody who only learned all this stuff in Intro to Music, I don't actually know what I'm talking about.
Baroque Pop, which is associated with acts like Love, whilst mixed with elements of English folk, that's in the vein of the Fairport Convention and Nick Drake.
Sigh. This is the favorite band of the person I like. But I shouldn't like him. Sigh.
