Fleet Foxes - Shore
Shore, Fleet Foxes’s 4th studio album, delivers a surprisingly rewarding 45 minutes of lush indie folk. Their music is singular in its ability to maintain unimpeachable quality despite the cultural fallout of many contemporaries of the mid-2000s indie scene (Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Iron & Wine, etc.) The album is perfect for your fireside Chai Shore, Fleet Foxes’s 4th studio album, delivers a surprisingly rewarding 45 minutes of lush indie folk. Their music is singular in its ability to maintain unimpeachable quality despite the cultural fallout of many contemporaries of the mid-2000s indie scene (Arcade Fire, The Decemberists, Iron & Wine, etc.) The album is perfect for your fireside Chai latte as you pretend it is still 2012 and the world is normal (ie the incomprehensible man-made terrors we see today have yet to come to light). Shore dwells in warm autumn vocals and maintains the tradition of Folk music, with acoustic guitars, minimal drums and chamber choirs providing the backing to most songs on the album. However, what sets this album apart is lead-man Robin Pecknold’s angelic voice. Shore doesn’t reinvent the wheel by any measure, but it does provide a refreshing listening experience for even the most cynical, gec-poisoned 2020 listener. as you pretend it is still 2012 and the world is normal (ie the incomprehensible man-made terrors we see today have yet to come to light).
