“Following their spectacular Sun Giant EP, Seattle-based Fleet Foxes’ full-length debut has a lot to live up to. Luckily, it more than delivers the goods: Incorporating a broad spectrum of styles—from Appalachian folk and AM country to classic rock and SoCal pop—Fleet Foxes create a personal synthesis of the music of their peers, their parents, and even their grandparents.”

“After making a splash in 2008 with a strong EP and brilliant full-length debut, Fleet Foxes return with a darker album that's equally assured.”

“The band’s third album is their most complex and compelling to date. Robin Pecknold’s songwriting retreats inward while around him dense folk compositions rise and fall on a massive scale.”

“The first official release from Seattle-based Fleet Foxes may be largely influenced by vintage folk and rock LPs, but this pastoral psych-pop band does something special with these elements. Fusing classic rock, church music, old-timey folk, and epic, reverb-drenched harmonies, the group's brilliantly rustic songs never go quite where you expect them to, instead taking more scenic routes to arrive at perfect, natural conclusions.”

“On his fourth album, singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold refines and hones Fleet Foxes’ crisp folk-rock sound, crafting another musically adventurous album that is warm and newly full of grace.”

“Proof that Fleet Foxes puts out consistent bangers. I can’t think of a single song I don’t like.”
