    Fleet Foxes

    Has anyone gotten into Fleet Foxes? I had never heard of them until a friend gave me their title album this weekend.

    Its got a folksy feel to it. They self-describe their music as "Baroque Harmonic Pop Jams", whatever that means.

    Its good stuff, despite the fact that they are a Seattle based band.

    Two thumbs up.

      Yup, I love them. They remind me most of the Kingston Trio.

        I'm a big fan and would be remiss if I didn't credit Triple Father for introducing me to their stylings.

          I think they're great. I would love to see them in concert sometime, but it looks like they're doing small venues on the west coast right now.

            I saw them this summer at a concert in my neighborhood.
            So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

              Tim hounded me for days to watch them on SNL. When I finally did, I realized how lucky I am he's my best friend. They really remind me of CSNY.

                They really remind me of CSINY--boring. Sorry, I've tried, but I just can't get into them.

                  I visited youtube and listened to 4 songs - White Winter Hymnal, He Doesn't Know Why, English House and Your Protector.

                  I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good song they sing before I make a final call on whether I like them.

                    If you like them check out Carissa Wierd, Band of Horses, and Grand Archives.

                    Band of Horses is my favorite right now.

                      Not sure if you're going to like them if you couldn't get into any of those songs.

                        I gave 'em a try. It just didn't do it for me. Just like Wilco.

                          They're kind of in that same vein. I like Wilco.

                              I'll pass. I don't want my brains to fall out.
