Tired of how the new indie rock scene seems to be flooded with dance infused spiritless music? Well despair no longer for the Fleet Foxes are here!

Their self-titled debut album has been making quite the splash with their feel good vibe, soothing male vocals, and ethereal sound. This Seattle male quintet starts off with their song "Sun It Rises" starts off with what sounds like a bunch of guys sitting around a fire singing a campfire song, but then the guitars start up and all of a sudden you're transported to a world of lush green fields containing lutists playing merry songs for young Renaissance couples to dance to. Then the second track, "White Winter Hymnal" comes on and who can resist cracking a little smile while bobbing your head side to side as you enter more of this fantastic world to the sound of soft guitars and drums with a chorus of vocals singing specifically to you about beautiful nonsense.

Honestly, Fleet Foxes make me think of a less depressing, more magical version of Aloha, without the xylophone of course. Both make you forget anything else exists and just swallow you up with imagination in a way that is similar to reading a really good novel.
