John Norris Interviews: Fleet Foxes Pt. 2

For this latest installment of "John Norris Interviews...," we sent our very own man with a microphone to confront Summer '08's most celebrated purveyors of the Seattle pastoral folk-pop scene, Fleet Foxes. John talks to singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold and his merry band of harmony-and-soul providers about their baby steps out of the coffee-and-Grunge capital, about their recent leap into the indie-rock limelight and their inspirations.

they're gods on stage and only human in interviews but still very humble and intelligent. watching artists have to explain themselves and their work always makes me want to cut a hole in the floor for them. this band encourages me to start taking hormones so i can be a man and grow a beard.

[simongreenham]

wonder if the young boy without the beard feels kinda left out because he can't grow one - they're a beardy band.. they seem pretty articulate to me - bit jet lagged maybe..

[yourealizardharry]

I've never heard a more articulate and expressive drummer. Ever.
