Fleet Foxes

New 2011 album from Fleet Foxes... not too much to say about this album... pretty good - though I did prefer their album 'Fleet Foxes' bettaz... grr

Track: Grown Oceans, Album: Helplessness Blues (2011)


Think Motown + hipster indie folk…. Fleet Foxes… lot's of harmonies and indie stylin lyrics. Also check out their song 'protector'… Only one album that I know about it by the same name - fleet foxes.

Album: Fleet Foxes, Track: White Winter Hymnal (2008)

Bon Iver

New release from Bon Iver... I've been waiting for something more from Mr.Iver... and have to say I am not so sure it was worth the wait... this second album is good, but a very experimental and very different from his earlier stuff... I dont feel like I am listening to the same artist, still check it out!

Track: Wisconsin, Album: Bon Iver (2011)


Slow and easy rustic folk vocals on the strum of an acoustic guitar... Bon Iver is gooooed folk...

Track: Skinny Love, Album: For Ema, Forever Ago (2007)

We Are Trees

New Release for 'We Are Trees'... I have to admit I am really underwhelmed by their new album... Sounds more unrefined and lofi than the last album, not to mention it highlights their lack of vocal range. Still posting it, as it's not as bad as the top 40's tripe.. spice it up guys ssshhhhyyyytttt... To be fair it's only their 2nd EP.

Track: I Don't Believe in Love, Album: Girlfriend EP (2011)


..Love 'We Are Trees'... chaotic hipster sound that these guys pull off with a natural ease. The heartfelt vocal harmonies remind me vaguely of Florence & and Time Machine.. but with a different angle.
Track: Sunrise Sunset, Album: Boyfriend EP(2010)
