Fleet Foxes have a new song, Helplessness Blues. I’m not excited about it yet, but it’s as good an excuse as any to share some Fleet Foxes themed material.
(OK, really I’m testing my Posterous connection to Tumblr, but isn’t that excuse enough?)
The New Fleet Foxes track, Helplessness Blues
My favorite thing about Fleet Foxes is the harmonies, which this Oh Land cover of White Winter Hymnal lacks, but it has a lovely girl singing. And everyone likes that.
Here’s Fleet Foxes covering Bob Dylan.
There are several new Fleet Foxes remixes, but I think this one from the Twelves is still the best around. Maybe the new album will deliver the DJs some better material.
OK, more best of 2010 stuff on the way!
