Fleet Foxes is a
band from Seattle. They are lumped in with the "indie" scene, and manage to create music that invokes images of the
old countryside, golden fields lit by the setting
sun, and endless dirt roads whose only inhabitants are older than the land itself, all while not sounding very "indie".
It was around last month that I
drove through the countryside with straw in my
mouth and a clear conscience with
Fleet Foxes ending the silence that surrounded me.
