Fleet Foxes - Demo EP (Disc 1 of Fleet Foxes- The First Collection 2006-2009)(SubPop)(CD)

 

I am new to Fleet Foxes. I just totally missed out on them over the years. I know of Father John Misty (who I believe is related to Fleet Foxes in some way(?)). So, I decided to buy a couple of compilations and begin my journey. The first CD is the Demo EP. 

Fleet Foxes are described as an Indie Folk. I am not sure what that means but the melodies and the complexity of the songs is incredibly addictive and relaxing at the same time. I have heard similar music from bands like Midlake and maybe Band of Horses(?). In any event, this music is fantastic. I guess it is "folk" music in a way(?). I mean, it is not a loud rock n roll record. Yet, it is still modern rock music. The sounds are just really soothing and you have to admire the songwriting.  This was a very satisfying first few minutes into my Fleet Foxes journey. I did not anticipate the guitar lines in some of the songs. A great example is She Got Dressed.
