NUMBER ONE HUNDRED & FORTY.
April05
I’ve had the new LP Helplessness Blues, from Seattle kids Fleet Foxes, for a little under a week, and to be honest have barely listened to anything else in those six days. It’s been nearly three years since their eponymous debut launched them into the hipster consciousness, a pretty long wait on new material, but for me, this sophomore release goes beyond my expectations. The songs are familiar; the layered harmonies and instrumentation, but Pecknold’s prose-like lyrics speak to me with a fresh voice.
The band recorded this footage whilst traveling on tour and recording the new album.
