Seattle's Fleet Foxes make such complex, harmonic, 70s inspired folk-rock, it's hard to believe that the band's principle songwriter, Robin Pecknold, is only 21 years old. There's a moment on David Crosby's "Laughing" where Cros, Joni, and the whole gang hit a harmony that might be the most gorgeous moment in the history of recorded music. The Fleet Foxes know that moment and they go for it. This EP is a precursor to the band's debut, "Ragged Wood", out in June.

Summary: Fleet Foxes-Sun Giant
Comment: Beautiful,Tranquil Music with a Folk Quality to it.I'm Grateful to have stumbled across the ads for these wonderful musicians and singers.

Summary: Soft & Low
Comment: This EP from the Seattle based Fleet Foxes is a rich and textured offering. The vocal harmonies are first rate and the soft-rock sound showcases the best parts of that often maligned genre. The five songs are all built around acoustic instrumentation that in some spots morphs into an electric sound. The band's sound is anything but commercial, but they deserve a chance to be heard.

Summary: Fleet Foxes
Comment: No wonder this group is quickly rising on so many music charts all over the world. Great for all ages. Beautiful and haunting. I like it almost as much as their second CD-self-titled "Fleet Foxes". Buy both. Looking forward to their next one. Unique and addictive listening.

Summary: A Giant Sun, Indeed
Comment: The Fleet Foxes' 5-song EP, "Sun Giant," is a marvelous, very-affordable introduction to this astounding folk/pop group from Seattle, who have proven themselves to be THE new band to watch out for. All five songs on this mini-album---"Sun Giant," "Drops In The River," "English House," "Mykonos," and "Innocent Son"---are gorgeous pieces. With singer/songwriter/guitarist Robin Pecknold's powerful vocals & heartfelt songwriting, along with the band's astonishing musical chops & vocal harmonising, Fleet Foxes will spellbind you. Their music will entrance you and soothe your soul. How wonderful it is to find a new band to be excited about! And don't just stop with buying "Sun Giant." If you like this EP, then you MUST buy Fleet Foxes' self-titled album, too, 'cause it's just as phenomenal. Fleet Foxes are a wonderful breath of fresh air in today's music world. Long may they run!

Summary: One of the best albums of the year.
Comment: I purchased the full length Fleet Foxes album and was so impressed, I just had to expand my collection with the Sun Giant EP. These two releases are easily the best new music I have heard all year. Every song induces chills. Their music reflects sounds of early My Morning Jacket, yet seems fresh and original. Layered vocals and suddend shifts in direction keep the listener engrossed even in the most subtle moments. This EP is a must have.
