Exciting band. Stunning record” WORD “Fleet Foxes debut is a fastidious, often overwhelmingly pretty evocation of the American wilderness and an escapist fantasy to compare with the very best hymns” Uncut – 4 Stars **** “easily the most beguiling album of the year… beautiful songs and soaring harmonies abound” Evening Standard – 4 Stars **** “While My Morning Jacket are kindred spirits, Fleet Foxes sound so fresh there might still be bits of eggshell at their feet… A pure pleasure” Q – 4 Stars **** “Fleet Foxes debut suggests they can follow the Arcade Fires and Mercury Revs to somewhere close to the mainstream…” The Independent – 4 Stars **** “Staggeringly beautiful” The Fly – 4 Stars **** “this is one of the finds of the year… sheer, unadulterated beauty” The Sun – 4.5/5 ***** “their vocal harmony-saturated mix of neo-baroque pop, 70s country-rock and English pastoral folk (both medieval and modern) makes for makes for a soulful, swoonsome and damn-near spiritual experience” Time Out – 4 Stars **** “Fleet Foxes sound is a baroque and richly textured thing – hymnal, melodic and otherworldly… this album heralds the arrival of an interesting, seductive and confidently singular sound.” Clash Magazine |
