Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues by subpop
Fleet Foxes, our favourite folk outfit or 'baroque harmonic pop jams' writers, as they like to call themselves, apparently, are back this year, and what a welcome return it is. Following their amazingly and deservedly well received self-titled debut record, their new album will be released on May 3 2011.
As if their record company had the smug inclination that four whole months is too long to wait, they are kindly giving away the first single free on the band's website. Or you can just come back here and listen to it over and over again.
This song is gorgeous, as expected, but sounds a lot freer compared to their other efforts. It sounds like the band have actually emerged from the barn they seemed to dwell in in the video for He Doesn't Know Why. The sound is fresher and less melancholic, but is still recognisably the Fleet Foxes we grew to love in 2008.
