FLEET FOXES... excellent... but...

[tenn]

:( I feel like I'm missing something, and please someone point me in the right direction if you can. I can't stand their S/T album.
I had really high hopes, I know they're great musicians, great voice and all that, it's the songs and lyrics I don't like. And since they have J.Tillman I'm willing to give them another shot, looking forward to hearing new songs that is.
I don't own Sun Giant so that's one thing that may make a difference, but I was just so disappointed in the ST album it makes me reluctant to buy it. I'm keeping my copy though, if I ever decide to go running through a valley picking flowers whilst wearing a prairie dress this would be the perfect soundtrack.
Basically, I want to like them I just don't...
...yet :-/

Get yourself a hammock, lay down beneath a cherry tree or whatever tree you like (I prefer cherry), play either Your Protector, Ragged Wood White Winter Hymnal or Blue Ridge Mountains (they should all be on their s/t album), and enjoy the beauty of both nature and Fleet Foxes.

To be honest, I didn't really like them at first either, but one day it happened, and I really enjoy them ever since. (so does my sister :))

I still wish they were playing Bonnaroo...  :(

Fleet Foxes seem to have recorded their music specifically for the purpose of relaxing on one's deck with a generous cocktail or two. Or maybe they did that just for me.
