Fleet Foxes To Release Eponymous Debut on Sub Pop
After falling in love with Seattle's Fleet Foxes at SXSW (read the coverage here), we are happy to announce album and tour news from these reverb-drenched folkies. With the help of credit cards, minimum wages, tip money, friends and family, Fleet Foxes crafted their first demo, and subsequently the Sun Giant EP. Now these five Foxes will release their Phil Ek produced debut full-length on June 3, 2008 through Sub Pop.
Drawing influence from the traditions of folk music, pop, choral music and gospel, sacred harp singing, West Coast music, traditional music from Ireland to Japan, film scores, and their NW peers, Fleet Foxes ranges in subject matter from the natural world and familial bonds to bygone loves and stone cold graves. Band leader Robin Pecknold says, "All we strove for with this record was to make something that was an honest reflection of who we are, citizens of the western United States who love all kinds of music and above all else love singing..." And we believe them.
