Sun Giant EP

Product Description:

Seattle's Fleet Foxes make such complex, harmonic, 70s inspired folk-rock, it's hard to believe that the band's principle songwriter, Robin Pecknold, is only 21 years old. There's a moment on David Crosby's "Laughing" where Cros, Joni, and the whole gang hit a harmony that might be the most gorgeous moment in the history of recorded music. The Fleet Foxes know that moment and they go for it. This EP is a precursor to the band's debut, "Ragged Wood", out in June.

Comparatively outstanding2008-11-22
This EP is truly monumental. I have never really heard anything like it, and, personally, i like it better than their subsequent album. The album is good, but for some reason the EP retains a crispness throughout its five tracks that the album does not. My suggestion: buy the EP, bath in its Autumn-afternoonish glory, and, if satisfied, buy the album for a few more good tracks and to provide fiscal support to this fantastic band.

This short album is a good introduction to the style of Fleet Foxes. This band is different sounding than most music you hear today Its very refreshing while remaining meaningful. Review some audio clips and I'm sure you'll agree.
The late 60's early 70's are BACK!2008-10-17
Excellent album overall. I put this in the CSN, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull category. If these guys keep up with this stuff they'll really be doing something.

It's rare nowadays to find any band putting out music that really showcases music, harmonies and vocals.

Tracks 1 & 5 are 3 stars, 2,3 & 4 are 5 star.

Soft & Low2008-09-18
This EP from the Seattle based Fleet Foxes is a rich and textured offering. The vocal harmonies are first rate and the soft-rock sound showcases the best parts of that often maligned genre. The five songs are all built around acoustic instrumentation that in some spots morphs into an electric sound. The band's sound is anything but commercial, but they deserve a chance to be heard.
