I'm usually a little wary of things that get too much hype out of the gate, so I've taken my time to investigate Fleet Foxes. The good news is that they stand up to closer inspection! Fleet Foxes play baroque pop mixed with classic folk and the more experimental folk that's been floating around recently. It's fairly soothing and if not for being 40 years too late, would fit perfectly in a Wes Anderson movie.

I completely agree that you could hear it in a Wes Anderson! I love Fleet Foxes, and the hype surrounding them the last few months has been crazy. But it has been worthy hype. Thanks for posting about them!
