I'll have to give the album another go as well. It, like Fleet Foxes at first will take some time to draw me in.

They do take some time to connect with, I agree. Ragged Wood was the one that wowed me, but then I had a period of waffling with whether or not I truly liked the sound of Robin Pecknold's voice. I think that's the key, you either really like, or dislike, his voice. 

 

The other thing I really like though is the complex harmonies with the other members that sing. I can't think of many other current bands which have such nicely layered and thought out harmonies. 

 

Now I like just about all their songs.

Dukedudez- 

Very nice review. I agree wholeheartedly.

 

Thank you very much cn11!  I really appreciate that!

Fleet Foxes' harmonies are incredible.  No other band, to my knowledge, has harmonies this good.  Also, I find the lyrics and the music to be beautiful.  That's how I'd describe Fleet Foxes.  Not catchy, fun, joyful, but beautiful.  I'm going to see them soon.
