Fleet Foxes - B-sides and Rarities (CD part of First Collection: 2006-2009)(SubPop)(2018)

 

From the box set, Fleet Foxes- First Collection 2006-2009, comes this CD of B-sides and rarities. Again, continuing my journey of the Fleet Foxes catalog. This collection just continues that 'sound' that Fleet Foxes developed on their early releases. Melodic, moody, folky, and at times hypnotic. Another gem from the band and a great collection to add to the Box Set. I enjoyed this basement demo of English House. Enjoy.

Fleet Foxes - s/t (SubPop)(2008)(CD)

 

My journey of the Fleet Foxes' catalog continues. The first album continues what I expected after hearing the first two EPs. Beautiful, haunting music. Some songs put you in a trance. The perfect music to listen to in the dark with a good set of headphones. What a great debut album. I will listen to more, eagerly.

Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant EP (SubPop)(2008)(CD) (2nd Disc of Fleet Foxes First Collection Box Set)

 

Working my way through the Fleet Foxes catalog. Sun Giant is the second EP released by the band chronologically. 

What a pleasure to hear this band. Their music is haunting. It is beautiful, soothing, and melodic. I am enjoying listening to their music. Gorgeous. The song Mykonos is amazing.

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.
