Sun Giant [CD], Fleet Foxes, CD

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.
