i. love. fleet. foxes. always have. always will. not SIMPLY because they're from seattle (my dream home), and not JUST because they look like mountain men, and that seems to be my musical soft spot.
though i had a good summary of the music they were making from their myspace around the time that i graduated from university (2007), sun giant was my first real intro - i'm not even sure how i stumbled onto it - and that EP made me fall into a unrequited love with the lyrics and music that the band served to me. one can only imagine how ecstatic i was when their first full length album was released (self titled). influenced by bob dylan, hank williams, neil young? perfection.
truly, they will continue to have success. they're signed to subpop - with the likes of postal service, wolf parade, the shins - and bella union - who also represents the acorn, lone wolf, and department of eagles.
anyways. i leave you with one of my faves. perfect harmonies. perfect lyrics. and just overall perfection.

lie down with me, my dear. lie down. under stormy night. tell nobody. my brother, where do you intend to go tonight? i heard that you missed your connecting flight to the Blue Ridge Mountains, over near Tennessee. you're ever welcome with me any time you like, let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes, so no one gets worried, no. so no one gets worried, no. but sean don't get careless, i'm sure it'll be fine. i love you. I love you, oh brother of mine. in the quivering forest, where the shivering dog rests, our good grandfather built a wooden nest. and the river got frozen, and the home got snowed in. and a yellow moon glowed bright till the morning light. terrible am I, child. even if you don't mind. in the quivering forest, where the shivering dog rests, our good grandfather. built a wooden nest.
