Fleet Foxes anyone? - Jerome - 24-06-2011
Just heard a track on the radio - something about 'the mess you made' by a group called 'Fleet Foxes'. Great harmonies and dare I say it - sounds a lot like Neil Young (the vocalist does anyway) - CH - any comments?

i have their debut self titled album and their "sun giant-ep" both of which i like. i havent heard the new album yet but my mate Corey who runs a cd shop says it is good.
i never thought of it, but now you mentioned it, yes there are similarities between the vocalist and some of NY's quieter moments when he was doing folky type material.
i noticed you didnt mention Fleet Foxes 'harmonies' Jerome??? did the track you heard not have harmonies as that was the staple sound of their debut album, which i would compare to the quality of those performed by The Beach Boys.
i can recommend their debut album if you should decide to get it, but as i said i cant comment on the new one.

Thou shalt not multi-task. It will be the ruination of your soul! Jokes aside - going to buy a couple of their discs. Like it a lot and it will be a great diversion from my normal prog rock/electronic stuff.

The harmonies on their debut reminded me strongly of CSNY. Haven't heard their recent release, but will do soon.
Good band.

Agree - and CSNY is a good comparison. I find their sound very refreshing amidst all the hype currently out there.

I rediscovered another group today. Is anyone familiar with Oceansize? I know you are ! Their last album from 2010 - Self Preserved While the Bodies Float Up is incredibly great to listen to. Again one of those bands that try to do different styles. The track - Oscar Acceptance Speech was the kicker ! I have never felt so relaxed for awhile when I listened to this beautifully crafted song ! It has a spacey atmosphere to it and the vocals are down tempo but unique and soothing. I had this album since last year and only listened to it "unconscienceously" .....if you get my drift. Any artists that you know of that have a down tempo low key style like this track ?
MH mentioned Christina Perrie and She & Him and they deliver a similar relaxed vibe !
I should have paid more attention to Oceansize a year ago ! Does anyone know what the members are up to these days, probably a bit early as they just split up this year.
Another find was the Canadian folk rock group The Duhks, album Fast Paced World from 3 years ago. How did I miss these guys and a gal ? band that combines world, Canadian soul ??? what the h..l?? folk rock,etc,

uh...............I never mentioned Goldfrapp
She & Him yes, but not Goldfrapp
I don't like Goldfrapp
I feel insulted.
