Fleet Foxes frenzy

Posted by The Vera Project

When recommending Fleet Foxes to anyone, I am totally 100% positive. Ever since I heard their EP last fall I have been absolutely hooked. This morning I ran from my car in order to catch a 12:00 noon live KEXP private broadcast. This was the perfect way to start the day. Cushioned seats and perfect sound only added to what the Foxes already have to offer.

Now, even though I had already seen them once, there was no stopping me from attending their later set at the Sky Church. This was another perfect example of the charm of a Fleet Foxes set. It would have been impossible for anyone to walk into that room and not become entranced in what they heard. They brought out some new songs during the set that were more than promising. Front man Robin Pecknold played a solo piece that was both moving and well crafted in every way. We are all awaiting their first full length.
