This is the song that turned me onto fleet foxes and I am absolutely in love with it. They have music for perfect times in my life and I cannot thank them enough for that. Nothing can compare.
I don't understand everyone's problem below, they're still the Fleet Foxes, personally I don't think they've changed their style very much at all. If you do think only this is their best stuff then your problem is you're a little hipster douchebag who always says a band's best work is their first EP and everything else is them selling out. It's a very common thing with Biffy Clyro "fans" who believe 'iname' is a classic and Only Revolutions is "totally selling out", just shut up please.
@mastercontrol100 yeah. The drummer and one of the guitarists (sometimes also a bassist) contribute to the harmonies. You should see them live. It's insane.
@devosaur they probably won't. Robin said he doesn't like FF's old style these days... and to be honest this songt ain't as good as their debut album and especially their latest, which is exceedingly well written and performed.
@littlemissfemale "I'll shoot you deadddddddddddddddddddddddd for the fatherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr offfffffffffff theeeeeee coalllllllllll minersssssss daughterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
@TIMOTHYSAARINEN Those 200 were released when they only had a local reputation around Seattle, and only the band sold them at their shows. You can find all of the songs online but you can't get a physical copy of the cd and case because all of them were custom hand-screenprinted.
@Qber4life, I think if I could verify that it was one of the originals, I might probably grab it. $100 is a lot for a CD, but if there are only 200 on the planet, in the universe, it would be worth it, and I do love this band that much. Their next album may be the most anticipated of my life!
@TIMOTHYSAARINEN Well I could put you in contact with the guy who was selling it on ebay (he and I have talked through flickr). Also to prove that its real, Robin Pecknold's brother (Sean) took a picture of the original EP and has it on flickr.
this is the music that i will find myself with. i've been lost, but with this i'll find my way back

if anyone wants to hear a J. Tillman cover (drummer of the foxes) I did a cover of one of his songs and I'd certainly appreciate it!

I saw them about a year ago at the Fox Theatre in San Jose.
In a time of cynical and boring pop marketed ad-nauseum The Fleet Foxes are a miracle.
Thank you very much for this post.

@Qber4life, Only 200? That doesn't even make sense. If there is a God, it will be re-issued at some point in the future.
