Best of 2008: Albums
9. Fleet Foxes -- "Fleet Foxes"
(SubPop)
Puget Sound's retro troubadours rocked like it was Laurel
Canyon, circa 1968: Against a filigree of guitars and percussion, they offered a
lush cushion of vocal harmonies stretching back to the halcyon days of the Byrds
and Crosby, Stills,
... more Nash and Young. Critics and fans alike have greeted their
earnest folk rock with smiles instead of snickers, boding well for their next
step. (Credit: Retna Ltd.) Close
