Album: Fleet Foxes, Fleet Foxes (Bella Union)
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
'Mojo' has already declared them "America's next great band", so it's difficult to know what to add to the welter of positive press that has greeted Seattle's Fleet Foxes since their lovely 'Sun Giant' EP.

And now we have the debut album proper, and further proof that if you are young, shaggy-haired West Coast Americans who listen to Maddy Prior, Fairport Convention and Karen Dalton alongside Dylan, the Beach Boys and CSNY, you will produce sweeping, majestic pop when you get together with your friends. Alongside Midlake, they're taking music back hundreds of years. Works for me.
Pick of the Album: The lush, four-part harmonies of 'White Winter Hymnal'
