Sun Giant EP
Fleet Foxes
CD 781.66 FLE 2008
Seattle’s Fleet Foxes make such complex, harmonic, 70s inspired folk-rock, it’s hard to believe that the band’s principle songwriter, Robin Pecknold, is only 21 years old. There’s a moment on David Crosby’s “Laughing” where Cros, Joni, and the whole gang hit a harmony that might be the most gorgeous moment in the history of recorded music. The Fleet Foxes know that moment and they go for it. This EP is a precursor to the band’s debut, “Ragged Wood”, out in June.
The Stand Ins
Okkervil River
CD 781.66 OKK 2008
The sequel to 2007’s critically acclaimed “The Stage Names”, which Pitchfork praised as “one of the year’s best”, is part two of a staggered double album, picking up where part one left off, but delving deeper into the story and theme of “The Stage Names”.
