Y’all have probably seen me link back to one of my favorite alt-country blogs, Nine Bullets, from time to time. I’m usually in agreement with his taste and commentary, until a couple weeks ago when he discussed The Gaslight Anthem and inferred that Fleet Foxes were undeserving of their praise. “Crap” is the word he used to describe their sound. NineBullets and HearYa will have to agree to disagree this time.
We’ve had a coming out party for people that don’t get Animal Collective, but are there Fleet Foxes non-believers out there? If so, I urge you to find their recent SNL performance of my favorite track “Mykonos.” Here’s the official video, but the live performance does the song much better justice. The harmonies are incredible.
