Sometimes I am good and other times I am just pure genius. You may have remembered that a few weeks back I was ranting about the very cool Fleet Foxes here on my very own special blog. Well it appears the big boys have caught up with me. Everyone from Zane Lowe to NME, MOJO, Pitchfork, Guardian, Independent and Telegraph selecting them as the finest new act of this years SXSW and raving about their celestial 4-part harmonies and awe-inspiring cosmic country-rock…
“If melodic indie rock is very much in vogue, then its new masters are Seattle’s Fleet Foxes… Nothing can quite prepare you for the sheer beauty of the band’s harmonic sound. During their 30-minute set there are moments of sweeping grandeur,near-medieval melodies and folk narratives, their intensity exemplified by the gargantuan, harmony-soaked White Winter Hymnal. Tonight’s set suggests that the band’s debut should confirm the arrival of America’s next great band.”
