Fleet Foxes: Helplessness Bluesnew
There are two readings of Fleet Foxes' genial sophomore album. First, it is slightly dull; innocuous folk rhythms jostle against Robin Pecknold's demotic lyrics and boys'-choir three-part harmonies. Second, it is a nice experiment; its halcyon melodies, occasionally restrained, are loose enough to allow for some intriguing gambles.

The Modern Folk Sounds of Fleet Foxes Are Simply Divine
This reverb-drenched beauty seems to be gunning for the title of coolest record ever to be sold across a Starbucks counter.
Fleet Foxes Tears Back the Centuriesnew
In their quest to fuse pre-rock 'n' roll sounds with indie-rock sensibilities, Fleet Foxes don't simply settle for 20th-century American Music 101. Rather, their time-travel extends all the way back to the Black Plague.
