Music Fleet Foxes - Shore (new album)

[amolbhatia50k]

So they released a surprise new album yesterday titled "Shore" much to my delight. Haven't had the time to listen to it but there's no chance I wasn't going to be one to make a thread on it.

The whole album has been uploaded by them on YouTube as was the case last time.

One song here for reference.

@amolbhatia50k and Fleet Foxes, name a better duo.

Isn't there a FF thread?

Listened to it yesterday. Just the once so don't have much of a grip on it yet, but I liked what I heard.

Their debut was one of the first "alternative" albums I ever discovered as a very young kid. I was 13/14 years old and sat in the chair at the barbers when 'White Winter Hymnal' came on the radio they had in there. Was one of those moments where, at 13/14, you feel like the world has presented you with something completely new. Memorised the lyrics and waited for the host to announce who they were, then I immediately went home and found the album on the Internet.

Such a wonderful album with two great ones to follow as well. Helplessness Blues came to mean a lot to me in 2011 because I was listening to it a lot in the aftermath of my first proper break-up when I was 17/18. The title track especially pushed me through a few days where I was feeling sad and heartbroken. And then City played the song at the Etihad before our title win against QPR and had a bit of a cry because of how good we'd suddenly become.

Always happy to put time aside to listen to Fleet Foxes.

I'll give it a whirl, they haven't been the same without FJM, though.

Can only think of Ed Woodward and Matt Judge tbh

This is pretty much how I felt when I discovered them just at an older age (25/26).

Helplessness Blues, though, remains my favourite ever album.

I've heard that this one is brighter and chirpier than the more experimental Crack Up.

Hopefully will be able to give it a solid listen or two over the next two days.
