Fleet Foxes

Fleet Foxes are one of my favourite bands at the moment. They seem to have carved out their own little sound that is immediately retro but goes well beyond the current 1980s influenced acts that are permeating our eardrums.

If you want to describe them to someone you could say they're a little like Crosby, Stills, and Nash with the vocal harmonising of the Beach Boys. Maybe, but they're very cool and if you were lucky enough to be at Coachella earlier this year you would have seen them. And if you saw them I would say to you, "Lucky sod!"

Here's a wicked video for White Winter Hymnal.
