Helplessness Blues- Fleet Foxes 2011

[marmas58ink]

Sounds like Simon and Garfunkel circa 1966!

[NewtzinBahazin]

fleet foxes always have the best album covers... does anyone know if they do the artwork themselves?

[ArtOfMax]

@NewtzinBahazin an artist named Toby Liebowitz did their album cover. she's done work for j.tillman, and is a wicked good illustrator. you can find her stuff online, she is really wonderful.

[MagnumRoyalty]

harmonies that make a man weep without any effort

[FolkSound252]

[Pacisdiligo]

Shades of the Everly Bros. and Simon and Garfunkel. Nice.

[JOHNBOYC2]

Feckin splendid song!! Lyrics/change in the middle/amazing songness!!!! White stripes+fleet foxes what more could you need :)

[monsterinyourpocket]

Wow....This actually sounds like it could be a really popular single. I really hope Fleet foxes get the wide audience they deserve with this album.

[jct329]

@monsterinyourpocket Not to sound like a hipster, but I don't want them on top 40 radio.

[monsterinyourpocket]

@jct329 Well i would rather these guys being played on radio than anyone else.

[tigerball20]

@jct329 That's being a nonconformist. The exact OPPOSITE of a hipster.

[123jborton]

@jct329 You know that's how they make money right? I have never understood that statement. I hope they have all the success they can have. They deserve it for making real music not the modern computerized bullshit.

[ian8001]

wow¡

[polarbearfelly]

Not surprisingly, no single dislikes! Testament to a truly wonderful track!!

[dayne1909]

This song ~roxx my soxx~

[syrakoss]

Amazing

Can anyone recommend me any other music like this?

[ArtOfMax]

@syrakoss well, to begin with, there are just so many incredible bands that have that chilled out, folky vibe to them. I would say to check out mumford and sons, midlake, the low anthem, and if you haven't heard of him yet, dylan leblanc is this new incredible country blues musician. Not all of those sound exactly like fleet foxes, but its good music in my opinion, none the less.

[Sodanoose]

@ArtOfMax Phosphorescent!!!!!!!

[rrhhwwgg]

@ArtOfMax

[stanerz79]

@syrakoss Local natives have a similar vibe, mumford and sons, Band of Horses, Bon iver is good too.

[13Jamie14]

@syrakoss could check out "Band of Horses" pretty chilld aswell

[PennXylo]

@syrakoss The Decemberists

[THEUNOTE]

@syrakoss try: Bon Iver, William Fitzsimmons, Sun Kil Moon, & Mark Kozelek as well. Not exactly the same style but the same great feel when you wanna slip into a music coma

[rrhhwwgg]

@syrakoss

[rrhhwwgg]

@syrakoss

[availablelight1]

@syrakoss On the Folkier side of things Look into older Iron and wine (Shepherds Dog), and if you love acoustic music and are feeling really adventurous go for the Punch Brothers 2 albums. They don't sound like the Fleet Foxes, but it's some of the most astonishing progressive acoustic / blue grass music out there. You can also go back in time and listen to Crosby Stills Nash and Young for harmonies that more than likely inspired the Fleet Foxes on some level.

[MsAdolfHipster]

@availablelight1 on every level.............

[totallyawsome96]

@syrakoss freelance whales are an awesome band :)

[rihanhna]

@syrakoss the decemberists neutral milk hotel bright eyes...... you might not like eddie vedder but he's okay.. jack johnson maybe?

[curlyfries546able]

@syrakoss pandas and people have been likened to them!

[sneakapeek26]

@syrakoss Uh citizen cope cage the elephant, kings of leon stuff like that is pretty good. Def mumford and sons.

[nickerlessness]

@syrakoss Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, City and Colour are a few of my favourites along with Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses, I'm not saying you'll like them, but you might if you and I have similar tastes. :)

[Tobystreet]

Reminds me of Professor Penguin

[mastima]

May will be the best month for the rest of forever!

[jussymucky]

amazing, can't wait see you folk at Greenman! :O) It's long overdue

[iamthewarlus91]

Beautiful cover of the album

[fleeurgle]

angelic voice, oh I'm so not disappointed after the last album.

[lilyroselovesu]

Pure genius.

[ElsaAlexandria]

comes out on my birthday !

[melaneyy]

FUCK YES. it just gets better as the song progresses

[Subtropicx]

the bridge takes my breath away.. ughhhh....

it sounds like the sun beating on my face in the spring

Thank you Fleet Foxes for making the world more beautiful !!!



[Rufio1775]

Eh... I cant really get in to this one yet... Guess I'll have to wait for the album to come out

[Joemckna]

I've waited a very long time for a band like this and here they are. All I can is WOW! Can't wait for the new album to drop.

[faleashasmiles06]

amazing.

[Ctrnshiva89]

YYYEEEEAH! GOD BLESS THE BEARDED FOR THEIR DIVINE MUSIC! the critics said this would be a great test , the second album test, but after listening to this song i have no more doubts. best band of our times.

[raggdwood]
