ALBUM: Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes
(Bella Union)
SEATTLE natives Fleet Foxes are an anomaly for the music writer. They defy pigeonholes.
The normal "pop, with an edge," or "rock with a heart" labels mean nothing in the face of such an accomplished and haunting record.
This, their debut, marries such bizarre styles as gospel, motown, folk and country to astounding effect.
Each of the four-piece bring a strange and beautiful talent which is truly breathtaking when it works - as on Tiger Mountain Peasant Song and Heard Them Stirring - and distinctly unusual when it doesn't quite.
