I really miss the slight medieval influence on Fleet Foxes from the first two albums :(
I still loved Crack-up and thought shore was a great record, but still my least favorite of the rotation.
I get it, bands have to evolve, but I truly disagree with the argument that the lyrics and themes in the first albums were attributed to a lack of depth and simply juvenilia. This idea that writing about tired and boring modern themes somehow make you mature as a songwriter I find equally as trite. It's like Robin studied Post-Modernism and removed some of the characteristics and quirks he was told were juvenile. Yet oddly there's more profundity in the first two records.
Perhaps the whole mountain music spirit he was in was actually a vibe/character he created and no longer related to?
There's a timelessness to the other records that places them out of time, which I loved. They are, of course, free to explore themselves "To be held within oneself is death like, Oh I know..." but would it kill ya to not throw out the baby with the bath water? Is it some Samson thing, like as soon as the cut their hair they're now serious adults? They're most certainly not sellouts and still have so much musical integrity. Yet, In a vulgarized world of uninspired pop - they're still a favorite of mine. So, I guess it's not anything I can kick and scream about, but I'd at least like to hear discussions regarding it?
So, am I wrong, should I cut my hair and wax up a surf board? I just want to walk the meadows with the larks and dream.
PS.. Trials of Cato - Hide and Hair (Go have a listen)

... keep reading on reddit β‘Fleet Foxes is the only thing keeping me alive.
If you listen to such tracks as βThe Shrine / An Argumentβ, βTiger Mountain Peasant Songβ or βBlue Ridge Mountainsβ, there is a certain medieval/pastoral quality to their melodies, and I canβt work out exactly why. I was wondering if there are any modal or stylistic parallels between their music and medieval songwriting (traditional songs in the same vein as Scarborough Fair)?
Have you seen the annouce on Instagram?
Tin House is publishing a book reuniting FFβs lyrics!!!
Iβm so freaking happy about it, I was hoping something like that would happen!
Do they have any? If so, which are your favorites? I'm putting together a playlist for my SO. I've listened to every song on their records, but one is not necessarily sticking out to me. I'm sure there is one or maybe a thread between two hearts within in, but I can't find it. I figured I would ask so that I don't have to mutilate a listening experience for a band I just found.
Hi all :)
Some time ago, I made this reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/fleet_foxes/comments/ozzjdl/created_a_flemishdutch_cover_of_mykonos_and_would/ where I wasn't getting approval to release my Dutch cover from Mykonos from Fleet Foxes. But I didn't give up, and in the end, I reached the mgmt of Fleet Foxes, and our release got approved! Thanks all for your help! I'm psyched to release this song!!! π¦π
Here it is, how do you like it?
