Album Review - Fleet Foxes "Sun Giant EP"


Pitchfork gave a very good review of Fleet Foxes latest album "Sun Giant EP". Fleet Foxes has been creating a lot of buzz from this album and I'm pretty sure their fan base has grown immensely by now. Here is an excerpt from the summary:
The Sun Giant EP ends with Pecknold alone once more, singing "Innocent Son" with only a few brusque strums as accompaniment. With only the sparsest elements, he turns the song into a sort of rough county-road soul, his voice unceremoniously fading out on the final words. This song, and the others here, reinforce the impression that Sun Giant is more than a tour souvenir or a promotional teaser for a proper release. It's a sovereign work: a statement EP, supremely crafted and confident.
