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.
