Fleet Foxes' eponymous debut was a stunning delight, one of the best albums of the last ten years, and arguably one of the finest folk-pop records of all time. Check out "Helplessness Blues" from the band's second album of the same name. You will have to sit tight until May to hear the entire thing, but if this thrilling song is any indication, it will be well worth the wait. The D Man is already in love with the cover art, again.
By late January, we grow tired of long cold nights and long gray days. We begin to feel alienated from our work, certainly in the confines of an office or otherwise.The D Man can empathize with Robin Pecknold's longing refrain: If I had an orchard, I'd work 'til I'm sore. My grandparents had a cherry orchard. That sense of individual liberation through an honest days work is what many of us seek, and if we are transported there mid-winter, if only for a brief time, through the unique harmonies of a fantastic band, so be it.
