Band-O-Week: Fleet Foxes

This is beautiful music making. Their album makes me feel like I'm in a bed of turning leaves and breathing in cold air but completely warm. Everything is perfectly in tune, wonderfully melodic and inundated with soft, wishful vocals. The first time I heard their recent album, it almost made me cry. They've taken the folk genre and turned it into a completely revised, modern version that can still invoke feelings of simplicity and joy. Even if you aren't into folk music, it's really worth a listen...you might find yourself as I did, completely amazed.
