Fleet Foxes

I forgot I love this album. There is something about it that just speaks to me. All around a fantastic listen that I love as much today as the first day I heard it.

Day481 - this is literally music that doesn’t offend anybody. when my youngest was in elementary school they did white winter hymnal in music class. boring at best

Better than expected.

nice folk album

I liked it!

boring

i absolutely adore this album

feels holy and something you listen to in summer while driving through grassy hills

An absolutely transcendent record, the beauty of this album is that it takes folk as its basis, but transforms and modernizes the sound of it without being glossy or overly polished. A gifted melodicist, lead singer and songwriter Robin Pecknold sings in a direct and clear voice without being flashly. Lyrically, the stories he tells through the songs on this album are vivid and relatable.

good folk

Already heard this one, it's a banger

Liked the vibe, listened to it all day and never got annoyed

Good one!

Fleet fox doesn’t dazzle often but is constantly well executed and beautiful … white winter is a great track

So this was like a folk album and its not my type of taste once again. I must say his voice is really nice to listen to but the lyrics are also not really that deep. The 2 stars are one for his voice and that one song ‘Tiger mountain Peasant song’.

Meh, it's nearly invisible background music.

Gorgeous music, I would judge anyone that said they didn't like this.

Jakoś przeminęło z wiatrem. 2/5

Not my style.

Not for me.

This album must have thoroughly infected one of my ca. 2010 Pandora station and I recognized maybe 5 or 6 tracks. Yet I've never decided whether I like this music or not. Good, but not for me, but I'll listen to it. 3.5

every track on this album sounds like a song you'd hear on a toyota commercial and be like "hey what's that song" (respectful)

another album so cohesive it just feels like one long song. and that's fine! the song is okay

I thought this was fine. My other half asked me again what the criteria are for being included on this list, reminded me CSN&Y already exists, and called it "a bit derivative" - hard to argue.

Always loved this. Forgot how good it was

A sunny sundaymorning with a cup of coffee , this album and a good book...

Without Pet Sounds there would be no Fleet Foxes. I love this album.

Have had this album on repeat since its release. My go to “people who may or may not wear shoes that live in the mountains while making angelic music” band. 10/10

New to me and fabulous. Gentle, transporting, sad.

alright i don't know anything about this band other than they have a cool name and people like them. they're folk too i think. let's do it TRACK BY TRACK 1 SUN IT RISES. wooow. for some strange reason the intro made my skin crawl a bit but my expectations were soon knocked out of the water with the gorgeous lush guitar and the overall dreamy atmosphere this evokes. and that heavier guitar that comes in is crazy good. great introduction and it has got me very excited for sure. 9/10 2 WHITE WINTER HYMNAL. yeah. just so lush and gorgeous. you can really immerse yourself in every instrument because of the crisp production and the harmonies are great, which isn't something i find myself saying much. to me it sounds like if alvvays made folk music, which is probably a weird comparison but that's how i think of it. very pretty, i'm impressed. 9/10 3 RAGGED WOOD. it's like that shining carefree advertisement music where people are smiling and laughing and running through the grass and picking flowers and having fun but instead of being a torturous waste of time that a quick gouging of the eyes would be welcome to replace, you feel like the person in that ad, running through the grass and having fun despite the fact you're running through grass and picking flowers. the music's cool too. 9/10 4 TIGER MOUNTAIN PEASANT SONG. a nice guitar picking song that still manages to be lush and textured despite just being a simple guitar and his vocals. 8/10 5 QUIET HOUSES. this is just so strong and so solid. it does everything the other songs did for me as well as having a very cool piano breakdown and build up. 9/10 6 HE DOESN'T KNOW WHY. only a little weaker but still manages to hit everything right. nothing else to add. 9/10 7 HEARD THEM STIRRING. very evocative and slightly medieval, soundtrack core. 8/10 8 YOUR PROTECTOR. it's another song, surprisingly. not so surprisingly, it's good. 8/10 9 MEADOWLARKS. man the atmosphere is so so good when they hit it fully. very beautiful. 8/10 10 BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS. this band made stomp and holler adjacent music and made it way more than listenable, crazy. this is gorgeous stuff, really. this is when the happy go lucky flower pickers start crying all over the grass. 9/10 11 OLIVER JAMES. weaker but works as a closer weirdly enough. chill. amazing vocal performance. 7/10 and here i was expecting some probably middling indie folk pop band trudging their way through eleven tracks. this album is lush and packed with gorgeous melodies and harmonies over such sweet production. i can see myself coming back to this, maybe when it's a bit sunnier. it's not, if you didn't know. 9/10

Enjoyed it!

It made me think i was gonna die at some point which i wasn't a massive fan of

its relaxing for working. i didnt dislike it. 4/5

This was very intresting. Very folksy.

pretty good, a little too soft for me but still lovely

Incredibly mediocre!

Nice music to start the workday with. Easy on the ear but not too distracting. Too bad there isn't really a hit in between

This album was not one of my favorites!! I just couldn't get into it.

Found it boring

that unmistakable life is strange 2000s teen indie vibe

nice

Bit samey

start slow, but always ended up being very powerful

Fun stuff Added White Winter hymnal + blue ridge mountains to liked Overall fun vibe

Really relaxing chill music

Sparse, crisp folk rock with an emphasis on vocals. Good sound - just generally a pretty good time.

Maybe I’m not hipster enough to like these guys. Maybe I need to grow a beard.

I can see what they're going for and it's technically well done. Not just up my alley

disappointing

This is my first time hearing this. It was pretty good, so I listened to it again. Although it was enjoyable, there was nothing that really stood out. "Your Protector" and "Blue Ridge Mountains" were particular favorites.

Basic hymnal structure, folk style instruments, repetitive and boring.

It's not bad, honestly. But I guess the recent zeitgeist has inspired some kind of revulsion against this sound world. It's nicely written music, and probably one of the better examples of this era of folk-tinged indie pop. But it just lacks emotional heft. And for music that's so clearly geared to elicit an emotional reaction, that feels like a shame.

No my style, but I like the album cover.

winding-road. sadness. hopeful. Fav Songs: White Winter Hymnal Ragged Wood Oliver James

I tried this years ago and it didn't stick then and it didn't hit the target all these years later. Really respectable listening counts from top to bottom so it's popular, especially "White Winter Hymnal" at 267M listens. Even that song was just a meandering two and half minute ditty. I found it boring and good for background music in a retail store where you can't change the channel. I'd be the guy in the corner asleep at their concert. I would throw on Lord Huron if I wanted sleepy music, at least they have good hooks and a better vocalist. 2 stars, thanks for tryin'!

So many layers, so lush, the Pet Sounds of my generation!

Good for a lazy sunday afternoon

Klingt als wäre es in den 60er geschrieben worden, aber modern produziert. Nich mein Fall

Some chill indie music, ive never really listened to any indie so yeah

Actively avoided this for years because I thought it was some Arctic Monkeys adjacent Indie land fill but was pleasantly surprised to find that it really wasn't that. Not totally in awe of it but could get into with a few listens

I heard the hobbits hired this band to play at their annual harvest festival. The general consensus was that they weren't bad, just not ... good. They were not invited back. Hobbits went with a Fleetwood Mac cover band for the following year's festival.

This was pretty good folksy stuff.

The type of mellow expressive music that speaks to me. Love it

Love this band

This was my mom’s shit when I was in high school and I can’t listen again lol

OVERALL: Going into this, the only Fleet Foxes song I've heard is White Winter Hymnal, and I think Mykonos like once. After listening, I like what I'm hearing. The vocals are very good, but some of the songs are gonna have to grow on me. Blue Ridge Mountains is probably one of the best songs I've heard and maybe one of my favorite songs ever, but it's surrounded by mediocre. About half of the songs are really good while the rest are 7/10 at best. Despite this, the instrumental on basically every song is amazing, and the only songs where the instrumental isn't the greatest have really good vocals. My biggest flaw with this is probably that the lyrics are not that good the more that I think about it, but there are also times when they can be really good. I feel like everything I don't really like about it is balanced by something good, and Blue Ridge Mountainsis probably the best song that this generator has given me. SONG AVG: 8.214545/10 PERSONAL RATING: 7.75/10 Sun It Rises: Haven't heard a lot of folk before, so I can't tell if this is generic. The guitar that comes in at 1:30 is really good, super atmospheric. There are basically no lyrics, but the vocals sound pretty good, although I guess I can see them being corny. Pretty good opener. 7.75/10 White Winter Hymnal: I know this one! It's good. Great instrumental, and the vocals are pretty good. The instrumental is so unbelievably good, I hope this quality continues. It's also a lot shorter than I thought it would be, but I guess it doesn't drag on. Too short for me to give it a higher rating, but it's really nice. The lyrics are certainly there. 9.25/10 Ragged Wood: Nice. The only complaints I have with it is that it is sometimes boring and the instrumental is sometimes not the best. Pretty much perfect otherwise, pretty fun and catchy. I might actually give it a 10, but since some parts are lacking I will lower the score. The lyrics are actually good I guess. 9.86/10 Tiger Mountain Peasant Song: Very eerie and atmospheric, great narratively and lyrically. Kinda boring otherwise, but the lyrics and the story carry this. Might grow on me, but currently above average. 7/10 Quiet Houses: I guess this is an interlude. There are only 18 different words in the lyrics (if I counted right). I don't really like the vocals, and the "darkening" that he's supposed to be saying does not sound like it at all. The instrumental, especially the last minute, carry this to above average. 5.75/10 He Doesn't Know Why: Solid lyrics, and the instrumental is pretty nice. I really like the last section, but for the rest of the song the instrumental feels worse than other songs. It still sounds really good, though. It does feel like it kinda drags on, but it's pretty good for most of it. 8.75/10 Heard Them Stirring: No lyrics on this one. Sounds pretty good, functions very well for an interlude. It is also a 3 minute long interlude, but it sounds good when stuff is actually happening. 7/10 Your Protector: Really good, although a bit corny. I don't really know why I like this other than that I think it sounds good. I guess the lyrics are nice. 9.25/10 Meadowlarks: It's good, but a pretty big change from every other song that comes before it. Very nice and atmospheric, I like the harmonies in the part that does the thing. I go back and forth on liking this one and thinking it's like a 4, so I'll give it something in between. 6.75/10 Blue Ridge Mountains: Holy shit, this might actually be perfect. The intro is really good, kinda like Meadowlarks but I'm confident that I like it. The drop is absolutely incredible, and it keeps staying like that for the rest of the song. The lyrics are above average, but I usually care for sound more than lyrics for artists that use voices as an instrument. My biggest complaint is that there is like 10 seconds of silence at the end, but other than that it's perfect. Definitely should have been the album closer. 12/10 Oliver James: I'm gonna be honest, I didn't realize that this song ended when it did. Pretty good vocal performance, although ends abruptly and is kinda boring. Solid storytelling. This feels like a B-side that probably shouldn't be on here. It reminds me of Hide and Seek, except it doesn't really fit the album. The vocal performance is very good, but they weren't probably the best on the album it would be a 5 at best. 7/10

I didn't dislike this album, but I wasn't over the moon for it either. It was super chill and laid back and folksy - but didn't quite hit the spot for me. Either way, I'm glad I've listened to it! 3 Stars only because it wasn't my general taste in music!

This album makes me want to frolic in a medieval pasture.

A nice folksy time. Really nice sound and just overall relaxing. Very much a PNW soundtrack.

It's a very well made folk album.

Very nice and relaxing. Listened to the extended version and the extra song from the Japanese limited edition release. Might be good hiking music

Beaux arrangements, belles mélodies et harmonies, lumineux et doux

Love the music, love the indie rock folk vibe. It is just not my favourite genre

Indie pop rock fizzes

Fantastic, great sound.

tell me why i had no idea they sang “white winter hymnal” 😭 i only knew the song from the pentatonix cover because my family and i used to play that during christmas time, but wow. i knew it was a cover, but i just never thought it was some indie early 00s song—but what do ya know. i really underestimated this album, but robin’s voice—wowww. so freaking good. such a feel-good, going-on-a-nature-trail kind of vibe with this one. this album kind of reminds me of middle school me, when i would play indie video games like life is strange, and they would have folk indie music in the background, like when the artist daughter played. that being said, i liked “white winter hymnal,” “he doesn’t know why,” “heard them stirring,” and “your protector.” i will have to say, though, “ragged wood” and “tiger mountain peasant song” were just 👌 overall, i do not really know when i will listen to this again—maybe when i am feeling very adventurous or maybe in the spirit of winter. 💚

Loved this! 5/5

kind of scary tbh not my favourite 2/5

not a bad album but also not my cup of tea. too slow, too calm. Your Protector was the best song

***

You can't resist those melodies.

Probably the best indie folk album there is. Make sure to listen to the Sun Giant EP with it; it complements the album in quite an essential way.

Indie/chamber folk of the last 2 decades rarely gets better than this! Always happy to listen to any Fleet Foxes record.

I liked it … but not rushing for a second listen

It lacks of substance, but not terribly bad. 5/10

Heard it

Pleasant at first but it’s repetitive and drags on.

Sleepy folksy (skip skip no thanks)

Very pleasant autumnal record with gorgeous vocals and harmonies. 'White Winter Hymnal' is the obvious highlight - the circling, hypnotic verse builds and builds until only the gorgeous vocals remain. While everything else is a step down to this, the album is still atmospheric and consistent to keep you engaged. Best Tracks: - White Winter Hymnal - Your Protector - Blue Ridge Mountains Worst Tracks: - Meadowlarks Rating: 6.5/10

I've played this album three times now. And I'm really not sure how to rate this album. I think it's a a lovely set of songs, very nicely recorded. It's just that it's not a musical style I particularly care for.

Very nice album - beautifully recorded folk rock. 3.5 stars

More soulless Hosier?

i’m not a particularly folksy person, but i enjoyed having this on. not something i’d come back to though. 3.5

The higgeldy piggeldy cover worries me. Opening strains aren't promising, but once they get going with the harmonies it is really pretty. An exception the the general rule that less singing and more instrumental breaks are better, here I am enjoying the vocals more than the music. Overall I find the modern greensleeves vibe offputtingly pretentious but not entirely unpleasant to listen to. "Your Protector" would not be out of place on a White Lotus sound track. I can imagine situations where I might come back to listen again. I think Fleet Foxes probably deserves a spot on this list.

Może być, nie mój klimat, jedna piosenka mi się podobala

Solid album, well written and produced. Didn't have anything that stood out as amazing too me, just mildly enjoyable throughout. 7/10

Very peaceful, I sort of floated through in a bliss. Always loved this album. I found myself a little less interested than I had been in the past.

Fleet Foxes are one of my favorite bands of all time. I saw them at Newport Folk Festival a few years ago and it was incredible. "Sun It Rises" is a perfect song to start the album. The harmonies are beautiful, the percussion (timpanis?) gives it this amazing feel that I haven't heard in many (any?) other bands. "White Winter Hymnal" is one of my most listened to songs ever. The composition is beautiful. At the right times this song gets me all emotional. "Ragged Wood" keeps it going. This song was performed beautifully in their "Live at Boston Harbor" concert video. 'I don't know what I have done, I'm turning myself into a demon' is a sweet line, and very dramatically sung. That's the highlight of "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" for me. "He Doesn't Know Why" has really nice vocals. Robin Pecknold has an unusual way of singing. His voice is nice and he has a very distinct cadence. It pairs so well with these big songs setting fantasy-esque old-timey rural scenes. "Blue Ridge Mountains" is another iconic and stunningly beautiful song. This is one of my favorite albums. The Fleet Foxes sound is so unique and they have been an important band for me and my friends for almost a decade and a half. 10/10

i get it more now than back then

A bit slow. Seemed like indie rock. But overall didn’t like much of it. Maybe return to this band for another album?

This is background music. Fairly underwhelming and boring.

When it came to put it was one of the leading albums in the nu-folk wave that came out in the mid-2000s. It felt so new and different, on a more recent listen I can appreciate the musicianship, vocal harmonies and production, but it didn’t catch me like I remember. There are still some standout tracks - White Winter Hymnal being still the most compelling - but it seems that there are parts of the album that fade into one another. A more average album than I remember…perhaps I just wasn’t in the right mood…

I feel like when I was 22 I really liked this album.

Хорошая спокойная музыка, в меру лиричная в меру грустная, не заунывная

Beyond the album cover nothing remarkable, could be used only as background music while you straighten your hair

I've definitely heard this at some point. Maybe a MWE pick back when that was a thing. Don't really remember literally any of the songs. It's like ridiculously pretty music that I just don't really care about that much. "Blue Ridge Mountains" kind of a banger though.

This is definitely one of my favorite albums ever. I have so many great memories with this album, and it is the perfect soundtrack for the autumn/winter. It's almost impossible to choose a favorite song, so here are three of them: "Blue Ridge Mountains", "He Doesn't Know Why", and "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song".

Another early folksy rock preempting Mumford and Sons, Lumineers. This time with pseudo medieval elements. Better than Arcade Fire Best track - White Winter Hymnal

It took me a bit to determine if I heard Fleet Foxes' music before. That was answered with the second track "White Winter Hymnal" which I listened to in passing. The rich vocal harmonies, the jangly guitar strumming, the lush organic instrumentation, that was a sound that I don't hear often, but when I do it served as a nice wash over me. That's pretty much the sentiment for the whole record, where the group took cues from the bright and cheery pop of the 1960s mixed with alternative country to create a chill vibe that covers you like a warm blanket. Sure, this is another debut album where the lyrics aren't too deep, but the atmosphere is impeccable enough to make it stand out in the indie folk scene. In that regard, Fleet Foxes' record was worth checking out on that quality alone. As a fun fact to end this review, shortly before the release of this debut, the band brought on drummer Josh Tillman to replace Nicholas Peterson. He would work with the group for a couple of years before branching off and finding success on his own under the moniker Father John Misty. It's interesting how life works that way.

I had never heard of this group till this. I was delightfully surprised.

Delicate harmonies and the singer has a nice voice. I found the album overall to be one note/tone and didn’t ever change tempo. Lots of wistful, melancholy ballads that weren’t inspiring at all. People at whatever folk fests this band plays at probably love them. Admittedly not my musical taste.

An all time classic album for myself that takes me back to an earlier time in my life. Well produced, beautiful sounding tracks on this one. I may never listen to this album all the way through anymore, but I’ll always leave these songs on when the pop up on my stereo.

* Like hearing something a bit different.

it's hard to leave an unbiased review as I love indie folk to begin with, but god this album is so simple yet so effective. good vibes all the way. makes me wish I checked out these guys sooner. I luove folk music.

Love this album

Meh

This is different. It is sort of folk, sort of contemporary soft pop, I think it is actually called progressive folk or the like. It is both interesting and emotional, maybe a bit too experimental in certain instances, maybe it doesn't matter. It is as if I keep defaulting to "it is different." It gives a range from background music to deeply meaningful with bits of "I could do without that little section there." I think because of the complexity of it it does not fall easily into "this is really something special" category and remains as an "I need to listen to more of this, to understand it better" sort of thing. I would like to give it quite a high rating, but I will be a bit more cautious. I do recommend it, but I think it requires a few listens to "find" in a way.

A fantastic debut from a band that hasn’t missed yet. Fleet Foxes are one of the best bands of the century in my view, any it started with this album’s retro sound. White Winter Hymn is a classic and a song my daughter loves. Ragged Wood is excellent. Beautiful singing throughout. I loved following David Crosby on Twitter during his final years and I always wondered what he thought of Fleet Foxes because they obviously have some CSN influence. I was disappointed when he finally mentioned them and said they “need to write better songs”. With all respect to Croz I doubt he's given them a listen beyond White Winter Hymn with that opinion.

Ethereal

An indie record, as imagined by a top 40 listener. Hollow horseshit for those who could drown in a puddle while screaming about the unfathomable depth in which they are mired. Neutral Milk Hotel and The Decemberists both did this old-timey sound better and with a greater variety in the tunes.

boring hipster shit

I don’t really find this album entertaining. It’s underwhelming and boring, they seem to know nothing but repetition.

Great sound/voice! Something special, stands out!

Listening to this album the word "yikes" came to my mind... YIKES!

Fun listen, but no new favorites

Ethereal music.

It has some stellar songs, but some just don't do it for me. As some have beach boys like harmonies, while others sound like stuff the lumineers would sing. 3.5

I loved this from the moment I heard it when it first came out and it’s still one of my all time favourites. Fantastic.

American folk revival without the hey ho? Heyll yeah. Some of these tracks make me sleepy

The second best track featuring singing in rounds since Houmous & Chutney’s cover of ‘You Spin Me Right Round (& Round & Round & Round & Round & Round & Round & Round)’ - in fact a world record for the biggest 2 man round in history! 4.2

I didn’t hate or love this one, and it turned out to be a chill album on a Friday morning. Overall it was a fine album, but not one I’ll remember down the road.

I really wanted to like this album but alas it is boring as hell. What a waste of a talented singer in a band that is the equivalent of a warm salad.

New for me. Enjoyed it

Netflix exclusive sitcom music.

Fine, but all the songs seem to blend and sound the same. Maybe just the vocals are delivered in the same style with little variation.

I think the musicality was too high to earn less than a three. But besides the big song, Winter Hymn or whatever, they all blended together.

The band reminded me a little like Arcade Fire, but more low key. I liked the Brian May-esque soundscapes in "Meadowlarks", that was pretty cool. The ending song "Oliver James" was a very powerful statement. I really liked the starkness of it. I don't know if it's something I will listen to again, but I kinda dug it. Top songs: "Meadowlarks," "Sun It Rises," "White Winter Hymnal," "Oliver James"

This album and band have soaring harmonized vocals paired with soft instrumentals that other indie folk bands have, like Band of Horses or Mumford & Sons - and I really like those bands and each has some great albums. But this album was a bit more like another indie folk band the Decemberists - I really like a couple of their songs but when I go to listen to a whole album of theirs it has some holes or lags in places. I really liked White Winter Hymnal at track two. And to be honest, Sun It Rises, Ragged Wood, and Tiger Mountain Peasant Song around it were pretty solid. Then the album lags. It ends with Oliver James, which is really beautifully arranged and is the best song on the whole album. But the 6 songs in between? I listened to this album a bunch and at times some of those songs really struck me and other times I wasn't so sure. The album feels like a 3.5 and I could probably go either way. Feeling generous today.

Lush harmonies, interesting music. I enjoyed it a lot, but it doesn't pull me in the way a 5 typically would. Solid 4. Favorite tracks: Sun It Rises, White Winter Hymnal, Your Protector, Blue Ridge Mountains.

On the one hand, I appreciate this album and consider it very good music. On the other hand, it doesn’t make me want to listen regularly.

The production is good, but it's just a bit boring innit? It's all very twee and lovely and lah-de-dah. Let's all drink a pint of mead and stroke our luscious beards while swapping our favourite vegan recipes.

My kid introduced me to this some years ago, which is not how I expected cultural transference would happen in my household, especially since this album came out the year they were born. Nonetheless, it’s charming.

A lovely album and White Winter Hymnal has long been a favorite.

Not my thing but alright

Nails on a chalk board. Obviously reviewing music is subjective, like I could listen to this album maybe on another day when I’m in a better mood (for the record I’m not in a bad mood I’m just not in a jubilant mood) and maybe I’d be more open minded about grading folk rock. But I hated it, I played it twice in one day and then I waited a few days before reviewing it so I could listen to it once more to see if I truly did hate this album as much as I thought. But at the end of the day this is an edgeless album. It’s just fluff and sorbitol, no natural sugar. I really mean that, this whole album is boring and melodramatic. It reminds me of people who are narcissistic sociopaths who don’t realize how shallow and vain they are. The most accurate description of this album that I could give to convey both the music and the whole vibe around it would be: “you remember the character from animal house that’s sitting on the steps of the fraternity trying to swoon college girls with his acoustic guitar before Bluto uncontrollably smashes it to pieces. Yah imagine if bluto never saved the day and that same guy got a full studio to make an album. That’s this album.

Mysigt men inget som stack ut

It's funny- I was thinking 'Animal Collective' and yeah these guys would fit into the 'non-human' theme! I'm a sucka for these kind of bands- pleasant and dreamy songs and safe quirky melodies.

Lush, beautiful harmonies

Bardzo mnie ciekawi jak ta płyta się tu znalazła. Myślę, że dla większości nie będzie wyjątkowa, ale ja bardzo lubię to folkowe, oldschoolowe brzmienie, a druga piosenka z płyty od dawna należy do jednej z moich ulubionych. Bardzo miękki, otulający wokal, delikatne instrumenty i taki klimat wszystkich pór roku jednocześnie. Piękne, akustyczne, moje. 8/10

Melancholic and easy listening, didn’t really catch my attention. Ok listening.

Ja dit is dus echt hele fijne wegluister muziek. Als dit folk is, vind ik het een stuk beter te trekken dan Simon & Garfunkel wat dan weer een stuk minimaler is en kalmer. Hier zit iets meer pit in, misschien door de drums, misschien door de grotere nadruk op gitaar. Het is wel nog steeds wat slappig, maar het voordeel is dat dit album letterlijk niet eens 40 minuten duurt. Dan ben je er prima snel doorheen en heb je nauwelijks tijd om je kapot te ergeren aan het gezapige geluid. Ja dit is best wel prima, ik kan me voorstellen dat ik dit best wel eens wil luisteren op een luie zondagochtend ofzoiets. Ok kom hier toch weer een beetje van terug. Had het idee dat ik al bijna klaar was met dit album en toen bleek dat ik pas op het 4e nummer zat. Het gaat toch wel een beetje vervelen na een tijdje. Het is een prima folk album, niet zo actief slap als Simon & Garfunkel, maar het funkt nog steeds niet bepaald de pan uit. FAVO: White Winter Hymnal, Blue Ridge Mountains

Blue Mountain Ridge is amazing, aside from that, I found this a bit bland

Exceptional. This has to be the best thing to come out of the 2000s indie/folk boom. Incredibly well produced, fantastic performances, great songwriting. I'm also bumping this up a few points for the fact that without Fleet Foxes, we wouldn't have Father John Misty. That reason enough is to be grateful that this exists. 9.5/10

Fleet Foxes evokes 1960s vocal folk pop that I love to listen to. The production is deep and encompassing -- modern yet warm. 10/10 songs and performances, too.

Really like this album.

Thoroughly pleasant

Good chill would work well on a playlist with Lord Huron and mount joy.

Folksy, whiney, boring snoozathon. Cover art is cool though. 1001 album worthy: No - 51/93

bom album folk pra começar, gostei mto de he doesn't know why vou ouvir mais projetos da banda 7,5/10

I get why people like bands like this but they kind of get on my nerves. Not terrible, but just a little too sensitive bearded guy at the party.

Unfortunately I could not listen album due to service error((((

Pretty music

Interesting, contemplative album. Winter seems like a good time to get this one.

i've listened to it three times and it hasn't moved me yet sadly

Helt otroligt och omistligt album

This is a prime-Pitchfork era album. Luckily, I do love this era of music and Fleet Foxes shows us how to make Folk music sound interesting and relevant in a modern-day setting. After so many dreadfully boring Folk Rock album from the late-60's/early-70's we are finally presented with something that's actually exciting and vibrant. Key tracks: White Winter Hymnal Ragged Wood Your Protector Oliver James

Excellent! 👌

Love this band. Folk, but with some rhythm and blues and bounce to it. The vocals pair so beautifully with the instrumentation and the sequencing of tracks is done so well. This record captures everything I think of when Fleet Foxes comes to mind, with uplifting grooves and melodies. A real pleasure to listen to this crew.

This album is fine. Nice. Calm. If you’re in the right mood, it is quite pleasant. It’s good background music. The music doesn’t illicit any kind of real feeling or emotion for me. I don’t love it. I don’t hate it. It’s just there. 3 stars seems right.

Love this

I had a hate on for these guys when they first came out. I think I was just mad that they were popular. Good harmonies.

*yawn*

LOLLLLL it's like my playlist in here

aight

Buona musica. Non tutte le canzoni mi piacciono, ma alcune meritano e le ho salvate nella mia playlist.

My second favourite Fleet Foxes behind Crack-Up. I don’t think this reaches any of the highs of that album outside of maybe Blue Ridge Mountains. What this does it does very well. Catchy folk pop songs that are so full in sound and flawlessly produced. Pecknold is a master songwriter. Embarrassingly reminds me of my junior high “girlfriend”. Hope she’s doing well. White Winter Hymnal is forever ruined by Pentatonix.

This album cover is pretty great and this almost feels like strange folk gospel music. Kind of odd, worth hearing once.

This is kind of bland. I have never heard this before. Not that dissimilar to the other folk rock acts during the same time, less shouting "HEY" Tiger mountain song caught my attention. Blueridge Mountain had some decent components. This album had moments, but it never popped for me. I could convince myself that I like it, but I don't see myself revisiting this. It feels like a colouring book that hasn't been colored yet. Might have some interesting pictures, but ultimately empty. 2.5

Sometimes good music is just good music, and this is that!

indiekuraa. mutta kurastakin, voi löytää rikkauksia. monet kävelevät sivusta, kiertävät kaukaa. jotkut ehkä kävelevät suoraan yli, päältä ja marssivat maaliinsa päättäväisesti.. mutta muut.. harvat muut.. nöyränä kumartaa ja halajaa rikkauksia.. paljaalla kädellä kaapii kuraa.. melkein aina käteen jää, vain kuraa. märkää ja likaista. mutaista ja pehmeää. mutta joskus, joskuus harvoin voi löytää jotain muuta. koira kakkaa. mutta koira syönyt timantin. keskellä kakkakokkeroa timantti. mutta pystyy vaan saada jos syö tiensä sinne, syö kakkapökäleen saadakseen timantin. ja sitten palauttaa oikealle omistajalle, ei vissiin ole sinun omaisuuttani.. jollekin muulle hyvin tärkeä esine. hwire winter hymnal

Kind of a lesser coldplay. Not bad but nothing special. Good music overall and good arrangements but not an amazing mindblowing album. The last song was horrible amd it ended it with a sour note

A nice folky rock sound. All the songs are sort of the same, but they're all nice.

Enjoyed a lot of this album, although I couldn't shake the feeling I was constantly at the end of a movie.. a lot of it felt like the music you hear at the end of a film, where things haven't gone quite the way the lead protagonist had hoped.. but despite that, he's gained something far more valuable, the thing he'd chased the entire film, was right in front of him the whole time.. pick any song from the first half of the album, and imagine that worn out scenario, as the main character smiles to himself and walks away, stinking of self empowerment, plus there'll probably be a sequel he can change his mind in anyway. Regardless, that's Hollywood's fault, not Fleet Foxes.. I just would have preferred some bigger moments on the album, a bang, some musical climax.. and not so much grand edging. A solid 3 from me overall.

Really just alot of nothingness. Only time I was really into it was during ‘Quiet Houses’ and thats because I thought he was saying ‘Donkey Man’ not ‘Don’t give in’. Should’ve called it ‘Quiet Horses’…. I’m here all week

Sun It Rises harmonies remind me of Beatles Sun King, pleasant. Winter Hymnal is a favourite of mine anyway. Great arrangement, great rhythm to it and the drums sound nice and big when they kick in. Tiger Mountain Peasant is another highlight, the vocal performance is such a triumph and the lyrics conjure mental tapestries of simple townsfolk playing rebecs and shawms. He Doesn’t Know Why has that lovely ascending/descending cadence, it could wear thin in the wrong hands, but they pull it off amidst their distinct sound and tight playing. Nice calm little outro to cap it off. Your Protector is a bit of a belter, it has more bite to it than the other songs. I imagine the villagers featured in the cover art, are rallying to ward off some intruders, or threat of violence, pitchforks, lit torches at the ready, women and children tucked up indoors while the men are poised for battle. The production is excellent. Everything sounds big and clear without being overwhelming, vocals and instrumentals all sit nicely in the mixes, it creates an intimate listening experience. Like being taken to the proverbial church.

Twee, performative, soulless. Forgettable snd entirely indifferent.

Feels too religious for need

It was nice

Some interesting songs and harmonies.

2.5

Nicely chill

The harmonies and the echo effect on the vocals feel like listening to honey. The actual music is a bit dull, but a decent listen on a cold winter day. Never listened to this album the whole way through when it was popular and I kinda see why. You kinda get the best and jist with the singles

Hearing White Winter Hymnal always inexplicably sends me into a psychopathic rage. It's probably for the best this isn't currently on Spotify. Legalise fox hunting again I say.

Same year as For Emma, doesn't hold a candle

ok

Follow the Fleet Foxes on a journey through this magical forest that Pecknold & Co have created. His vocals blow with the wind, fly with the birds, rustle with the leaves, and glisten on the water. Truly a beautiful otherworldly experience. I can almost see this record serving as the score for a 90s/2000s cult classic fantasy film. All in all, it’s a record that connects you with nature in a way. The angelic and golden vocal melodies/harmonies play off of the rich and organic instrumentation like sunshine beaming off the tree tops. Well done Fleet Foxes. I was familiar with you as a teenager but I may have to revisit your catalog after this gorgeous work of art. Favorites: White Winter Hymnal, Your Protector, Blue Ridge Mountains

This album is a whole-ass vibe. I love it from beginning to end: The ambiance, the harmonies, the variation between tracks but without losing cohesion. I listened to some of their songs before, but I didn't put the time to listen to this whole album: It's going into my library asap. Extremely beautiful and powerful. If you like indie folk, this is one of its peaks.

this is just not for me, but it wasn’t too bad to listen to as I worked. I don’t think men should be allowed to have lead vocals for music like this. a woman’s voice would have been so much more pleasing.

Chill, I enjoyed this in the background. I'll add a couple songs to my folk/country/soft indie playlist, but that doesn't mean I love this album. I'm just not mad about it.

Ya!

Good folksy album

Beautiful album with delicate harmonies and wistful lyrics. Great for road trips

fine

Love how folksy it is.

Две пятерки подряд? Просто потому что Fleet Foxes великая группа, и я очень скучаю? Лучшая песня - Winter White Hymnal.

One of the most beautiful pieces of indie rock I’ve ever heard. The songwriting is top-notch but can get stale at times. Still a great listen.

Just not that great, I don’t get it, ok I guess

Like to folk style and some good hits.

Decent folk sounding music but missing any song that stands out. 3 stars or C-.

Tasteful playing, considered songwriting, thoughtful arrangements - although they mostly seem to peter out. It is the vocal harmonies that dominate however: high, ornate, and, while tracked, double-tracked, and triple-tracked, still strangely thin. Somewhere between sacred harp singing and Simon & Garfunkel, without the emotional welly of either. Unlike Simon & Garfunkel, Fleet Foxes are not all gone to look for America, but have rather retreated into a Waldenesque fantasy of America, with fake folk songs, fake snow, and fake women in the woods. Perhaps 'In the Airplane Over The Sea' is responsible for all the multi-instrumental Salvation Army indie bands that came in the decade that followed, but, in Jeff Mangum, they had a genuine fantasist, an electric eccentric. The Fleet Foxes' romance is more artisanal than artistic, running off a small generator in a national park campsite, while pretending to be pioneers. If I must have drums worn with a strap, interweaving vocal lines, and musicians in old style coats, living ahistorical fantasies, then I want it to be fun - the real Kings of the Wild Frontier are Adam and the Ants. 3 I find this album very easy to admire and impossible to love. The songwriting is excellent - or at least the music is; the lyrics will certainly do very well, although being American West Coast rural fantasy nostalgia of the mid-Noughties they draw inescapable comparison with Joanna Newsom’s Ys from a year or two before and feel very slight by comparison with the vivid, arresting poetry of that album. But the production… here is a cautionary tale of an album. I can only fantasise about how I might love this set of songs if they had been given any sort of edge by a producer with a vision. As it is… Youse love yer reverb anyway don’t yous yis c#*ts yis? 3/5

7/10 Highlights: He Doesnt Know Why Ragged Wood White Winter Hymnal Your Protector

boom clap hey ahh music

It's not bad but nothing to write home about. Everything kind of blends into one song type of thing. 2.5-3

Very folk, big voices, sweet to the ear. To listen while in a long road trip, wind down feel. Requires a few listens, but still great first album.

Pretty good. Never heard of them before and not really my style but they’re talented.

it was pretty good, some really good songs, some slow ones that are kind of snoozer.

2008 was the year my wife and I started dating, and a year before I graduated college. I probably heard these songs on Daytrotter's website before I heard the album. It's the sound of a lot of bands I would listen to in my 20s. I really miss that whole scene.

Man, I wasn't familiar with this album when it came out, but listening to it now still evoked a lot of nostalgia for me. I guess it does a great job of representing the indie music of the era. Those were some good times, truly. I'm glad this is on here; it's too bad I missed it back in the day. Great album.

Elegant music drenched in reverb. Drum beats signaling a rock sensibility but with baroque tendencies

Peak indie bliss

Fleet foxes have some catchy singles. Not on this album. Not sure it needs to be in this list.

A favorite

Great album when you feel like you need to come of age again.

Nice sounds, nice songs. This album is in my core genre, but there’s not a lot that’s surprising about it. I like it (3) but, I’ll take Neil Young to the desert island instead.

Did not like

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes Folk type album that actually sounds pretty damn good. It feels very dramatic, but also chill. The album cover really depicts well to how the music here sounds, feels like a roller-coaster of listening to this, including that with the story-telling which itself is already fantastic. Honestly, this is REALLY good! 1.- Sun It Rises = 8/10 2.- White Winter Hymnal = 9/10 3.- Ragged Wood = 10/10 4.- Tiger Mountain Peasant Song = 9/10 5.- Quiet Houses = 10/10 6.- He Doesn't Know Why = 9/10 7.- Heard Them Stirring = 8/10 8.- Your Protector = 9/10 9.- Meadowlarks = 8/10 10.- Blue Ridge Mountains = 10/10 11.- Oliver James = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 8.9/10

Not my cup of tea

Chill album. Nice to have in the background.

Beautiful

I’m still not entirely sure that My Morning Jacket didn’t release a bunch of B sides under a pseudonym.

Really enjoyed this! Will be coming back to it

So prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy... :D

Surely an important album (and debut!), which unreservedly deserves to be in a list such as this one. I can admittedly understand the point of view of listeners saying that there might be something a little too "distant", "cold" and even "plastic" in the strand of folk-music revival practiced by Fleet Foxes. The production and the vocal harmonies are indeed so pristine and "clean-sounding" in this album, maybe even to a fault sometimes. That said, the record also harbors FIVE absolute gems that make it a worthwhile experience overall. Those gems are "White Winter Hymnal", "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song", "Your Protector", "Blue Ridge Mountains" and closer "Oliver James". And in my "book", there are only four other records released in 2008 that can be placed higher than this LP -- namely Portishead's *Third*, Chad VanGaalen's *Soft Airplane", Vampire Weekend's own debut (also eponymous) and Deerhunter's *Microcastle*. So yeah, I think it's a safe bet to predict that there will be room left for Fleet Foxes in my own list of 1001 albums you must listen to before you join folk singers heaven. :) 4.5/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums, rounded up to 5. 9.5/10 for more general purposes (5 + 4.5) Number of albums left to review: around forty, as I've gone over the 1000 line and this generator is including albums from all editions of the book Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 458 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 271 Albums from the list I won't include in mine: 331

My favorite FF album.

It's the summer of 2008. I'm in my mid-20s, trying to figure out how to navigate the world as a working adult. Little did I know, an indie band was about to release an album that would refine my musical tastes for the next few years. Of course, "indie folk" as it was dubbed at the time, wouldn't just influence my musical journey, it would be everywhere, even mainstream if you count acts like Mumford and Sons (completely overrated in my opinion). Despite me wearing out my ripped copy of this self-titled album, I haven't listened to it in probably a decade. So even though it helped define a period of my life, is it still relevant? Is it still just as good. Well, nostalgia be damned: Fleet Foxes debut is a masterpiece. I've listened to it twice since getting it assigned for this challenge and I'm tempted to spin it again. The harmonies are chill-inducing, the various musical styles from acoustic singer-songwriter poetry to baroque melodies layered in top of each other make for such a unique sound that has since been borrowed from so many other artists that wanted to cash in on the fake-folk movement. There isn't a bad song on the album but "White Winter Hymnal," "Your Protector," and "Blue Ridge Mountains," stand out to me.

Reading some of the reviews I was hoping I would enjoy this one more. Decent background songs but I was overtired on a bumpy flight so it may have suffered from my atmosphere. I’ll need to revisit Fleet Foxes, I usually enjoy indie music

Bursting with brightness and warmth. A flickering candle, sunlight peering through the windowpane, and the whisper of the wind.

This reminds me of a less sad lord Huron w more of a mix of Hosier. I didn’t think I had heard any of his songs until the “White Winter Hymnal” came on, and I definitely know that one.

Late 2000's indie folk goodness. Fleet Foxes is comfortable on this debut. I really like the harmonies and it is sonically pleasing. A couple songs (Ragged Wood, White Winter Hymnal, Blue Ridge Mountains) really stand out, and then the vast majority of the tracklist is just good not great.

nem rossz de marhára untam sajnos. ismertem a bandát, egykét számuk jó de számomra eléggé ingerszegény meg repetitív. nagyon '2018 spring best indie/folk/rock songs - sunday morning playlist' vibe nekem, amit 13 évesen hallgattam. ezt az ilyen stílusú folyamatos többszólamú éneket nem bírom ennyi ideig. nagyon millenial granola hipster vibe.

Kedvenc/Favourite: Your Protector Hát, nem igazán fogott meg. Kicsit unalmas volt számról-számra is, meg összességében is. Nem volt rossz, de nem tudnám kiemelni mi volt jó benne. Alapvetően szeretem az ilyesmi zenét, de nem talált meg valahogy. Well, it wasn't really engaging. It was a bit boring, both song by song and overall. It wasn't bad, but I can't really point out what was good about it. I like this kind of music in general, but it somehow didn't resonate with me.

The Beach Boys head for the mountains but forget to bring their hooks. White Winter Hymnal is good.

Didn’t know much about indie folk but sounded pretty cool. Not sure about the guys voice but I like it

chill

Subtle and atmospheric. I could stand to revisit this closer

Nope, didn't speak to me at all. 2/5

Overall: 10/10 This is such a gorgeous album. The tone of this album is immediately warm and inviting. The production makes you feel like you've stumbled upon the band performing in the middle of a forest. The harmonies are mind blowingly beautiful and give me so much comfort. This might also be the best an acoustic guitar has ever sounded on record. I say all of this while not being a huge fan of this style of folk rock that was so popular at the time, but these guys do it better than anyone I've ever heard. I'm gonna have to check out more of their stuff now. (I didn't want to give this a perfect rating cause I feel like I rate albums too highly but man, I can't help it when artists are making bangers like this.) Fav Song: White Winter Hymnal Least Fav Song: He Doesn't Know Why

Mellow and enjoyable liked the collaboration with Posty

Just ok, nice interwoven indie-alternative-folk harmonies.

I adore this album and return to it often. I had the privilege of seeing them tour after it was released. It was a small venue, perfect for these songs. When the music cut out and it was only their voices harmonizing, every single person went silent, suspended in that moment. I'd go to church every Sunday if that's all it was. I was reading about it today and realized Phil Ek, who helped produce this album, has produced a lot of my favorite 2000s indie rock music. My favorite song changes every listen; today it was Your Protector. I always love Blue Ridge Mountain as well.

Not for me

hell yeah man

Reminds me of Mumford and Sons but without the accents and catchy tunes. Good but not my style.

Not bad. 2.5

Love it

Very sleepy sounding. Not for me but I can absolutely see how it works for loads of others.

solid folk album. it's nice to hear something that isn't classic rock.

Gave it the college try, but this one wasn't my favorite. Found it monotonous and couldn't get through the full album.

Not particularly memorable. Probably great background music, but not really my thing.

Couple ok tracks but was kind of like a whole album of those acoustic Alt J tracks that you skip

Boring lol

I don't know. It was fine, I guess. It could certainly be on while I did dishes or something, and I'd be entirely okay. It was dull, though.

Nothing memorable at all. Good background coffee shop music.

This is the first album I was given but I know it well. That said I listened to death when it came out and haven't played it in quite a few years. I read a few reviewers who hated it and gave it 1 star say it was bland or middle class or fake. Or they hate the weedy folky revival of that period. For me it stands well above it's peers of that time. The melodies and harmonies are a cut above. If you listen to half a bar of most Country or Folk Pop for the first time you could probably pause it and sing the second half. This album is far from avante garde but the tunes wind off in unexpected or surprising directions. And undeniably the main guy has a great voice.

Loved White Winter Hymnal. Like the back boys but for cold weather. The choral parts are just sublime. Not as keen on the rest of the album. Not because there is anything wrong with it. They are good at what they do. Just not my bag.

Lots of familiar classics heard on this album. Not much my thing, but enjoyable.

I avoided the 00's indie-folk movement like the plague at the time. Which is odd, because I actually enjoy a lot of folk music. It was just everywhere, and it all sounded the same, and it seemed so vapid compared to the politically charged folk of the 60s and 70s. I think at one point I may have attempted to download a couple songs by these guys just to find out what the hype was about — or maybe it the Mountain Goats? So many dumb animal-themed band names at the time — but I remember it sounding muffled and unintelligible, like it had been recorded in an underwater cave (maybe that was just the poor quality of the files I found). Anyway, other than White Winter Hymnal, which I knew from the dozens of covers that have been done (I'm actually quite fond of Kina Grannis' a capella version with her sisters), I went into this pretty much blind. It was ... fine. It's not as terrible as I remembered it being. The harmonies are nice enough. The music is okay background music. The lyrics are meh. But, and I say this as someone who's generally a fan of male singers with high ranges, that falsetto guy sure does get grating. And the overall sound gets pretty repetitive after the first few songs. It's a competent album, but I still don't really get the hype. It's pretty typical folk. Sometimes it's like a more stripped down version of the Beach Boys with a bit of psychedelia added in. But I still don't find anything about it to be earth shattering. I see that it's been listed as one of the greatest stoner albums of all time, and ... yeah, that tracks. 3/5

I love folk music, and there's clearly great musicianship on this record, with every track well crafted. Lovely album to listen to, but it seems to lack some soul, and in the end failed to really grab me.

Quite a beautiful album

I’m not typically into this Folky-Indie Rock style, but I listened to this multiple times. I hope to revisit it again soon.

Wow. Beautiful music. Would rate 4.5 on first listen. I’m interested in seeking out more FF and Father John Misty.

Part of my teenage P4K approved rotation. Very good example of 2000s indie-folk. Compared to Bon Iver's debut it's much more polished, but it doesn't have the tweeness of acts like the Shins. If that all means nothing to you, Fleet Foxes do that song about falling in the snow that's featured in countless Christmas movies. They're pretty good.

Def over-listened to this one back in the day and have yucky ex-girlfriend associations... Probably would have been a 5 back in the day, but alas!

I'm genuinely happy there are people that will like this. I'm not in their groove. But good for all of you.

Not for me, but I get why some people might like it

Just a really solid collection of chamber-y folk rock tunes. I love the baroque touches. 4/5

Gammal favorit

Un disco sólido, lindas guitarras y algunas percusiones dulces. La voz del cantante no me termina de cerrar. Quizá deba escucharlo otra vez para decidir. Por ahora, un sólido 3.

I wanted to like this because I really like FJM but I just found it so boring 😔

It's mellow, easy folk with compelling lyrics and interesting instruments sprinkled in here and there. I like it. All kind of blends together, but not a bad thing.

recycled country music

Took a second listen and really liked it! Wasn't blown away the first time, glad I went back. :)

calminho.. bom pra deixar de fundo enquanto faco alguma cosia. nenhuma me marcoi

NOPE.

Fleet Foxes is an album that i liked, I don't think it's amazing or anything but i like it. This is yet another relaxing album on this list which i do appreciate since sometimes, i do want to hear something to chill out to especially if the day has been rough. Though this album, if you take away the lyrics from these songs, i could probably be tricked into thinking these are songs from Planet Coaster since they seem to have the same sound as the songs from that game. I do feel that the songs here can get a little samey due to most of them feeling like background noise. I still like this album and it's relaxing feel so i can still appreciate it for what it is. Best Song: He Doesn't Know Why Worst Song: Meadowlarks

WHITE WINTER HYMNALLL!!! I only know of this album bc of WWH. Will definitely be adding this to my library.

Great listen, good vibes and allowed for work to still be done. Hadn’t listened to much Fleet Foxes, but will definitely explore their catalog.

Outrageously beautiful harmonies, evocative pastoral imagery, indie folk rock magic. One of the best and most exciting debut records of the 2000s.

4.5*

Beautiful but too one paced for me personally. Your Protector was particularly good but overall I just couldn't get into it.

I was quick to write this off a bit when I saw it but it's lovely. Will likely revisit! Especially if I happen to be sat in nature lol

More like a 3.5 for me.

There wasn't one song on this album that caught and held my interest. It's well produced, but the songs themselves are just not interesting and quite forgettable. The faux folksy theme was uninspiring.

What a beautiful album. I've never listened to Fleet Foxes before but now I want to check out all their music!

Mumford and Sons bem feito

eu sei que hopelessness blues é superior e talvez se eu ouvisse mais do gênero conseguiria ver que esse disco é no máximo um não fede nem cheira mas pra mim até que tem um cheiro agradável

Gorgeous album. No notes.

8/10. Great, calming album. Good for a variety of times.

Progressive-death-folk? Has potential. I wanted a less polished production. This felt very academic, kind of showing off their chops, demonstrating a style. Nothing really hooked me though and mostly derivative. If you're going to do your version of Folk, the lyricism needs to take center stage. This is, again, kind of a stylistic exploration without having much to say. That droll singing voice again. Too cool for the turn-of-the-century. Middle-class white suburbanites don't usually have much to say though.
