Recent Sub Pop signees Fleet Foxes are raking in the adulation for their self-titled full-length debut — including a rare 9.0 Pitchfork review — but the band deserves the hubbub. The Seattle-based five-piece draw from a wide swath of influences, mostly in their parents' record collections, blending and bleeding together the jangly folk-rock sound of the Zombies, the Beach Boys, and Simon & Garfunkel. There's also more contemporary affects, like that of fellow Sub Poppers Rogue Wave and the Shins. But Fleet Foxes manage to carve out a sound that's all their own, crafting ethereal vocal harmonies over banjos, mandolins, and tambourines.
