Description
"Not long ago, Fleet Foxes had a change of heart. 'We all started getting discouraged by the direction the band was taking, and frustrated with the songs I was writing,' Robin Pecknold, 21, the frontman for the group, recently wrote. 'With the new music, we decided to put an emphasis on harmony, simple three- and four-part block harmony. The songs would be simple as well, songs about our friends and family, history, nature, and the things around us in the Pacific Northwest. Instead of complicated vocal melodies, we would try and use guitars and mandolins and banjos and other little guys to fill the melodic spaces in the music. We'd try and avoid the conventional song structures, sometimes putting two songs together as one, or avoiding choruses and verses in favor of long vocal rounds and alternating instrumental sections.'"- thestranger.com
