I’ve *liked* Fleet Foxes since I heard their self-titled debut (released June 2008–and since then it’s gone on to top a ton of Best of 2008 lists), but in all honestly, they didn’t totally click with me until Sunday night when I heard/saw them on SNL. As Chris said on Twitter, they sounded awesome, and I pretty much think seeing them perform live made me “get it.” I don’t know if that makes any sense–probably not. Check out their song “Mykonos” as performed on SNL and maybe you’ll see, too:
If you want to hear more of that beautiful music, check out their full-length self-titled LP and their Sun Giant EP, which contains the song Mykonos. Both are definitely worth the pennies.
Other music in heavy rotation for me right now: Andrew Bird, Okkervil River, The Welcome Wagon (all of which I’d love to blog about soon)
