Fleet Foxes On Jools


For those of you who missed it here's Fleet Foxes' performance of euphoric new album closer, "Grown Ocean", which was on  Jools Holland last night. Note the double string break towards the end. All the Fleet Foxes elements are in fine shape here; breezy melodies, bucolc imagery and vocal harmonies but on a somehow grander scale.
      This album was harder to make than their first and if, as frontman Pecknold has commented, the album is about the creative process, then this seems like the sound of a man standing back to admire and reflect on his creation .  
 Quite rightly too, check out Helplessness Blues.
