Fleet Foxes

4/5

Vibes: 5 Instruments: 3 Production: 4 Emotional Value: 3 Storytelling: 5 AC: 1 Stand Outs: White Winter Hymn, Oliver James Overall: 4.2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I feel like I'm dancing in the forest through this album. Though the individual songs feel somewhat unremarkable, I kinda vibe with it.

It's nice background music.
