Just discovered these guys. I am close to 70 and spend my KZread time reminiscing with the bands of the 60’s and 70’s. All I can say is that new music is alive and well as long as this kind of talent emerges once in a while. What a relief to find a band with something to say and a unique way of saying it.

Wish they added the ending of grown ocean instead of the beggining of I Am All That I Need so we could've had this transition on the record. Apparently the transition was planned all along.

I wholeheartedly agree with all the comments regarding the sound quality of the recording, Robin's voice and stage presence, and the musicianship of the whole band. However, massive shout out must go to Christian Wargo and his understated, but huge influence, on the band's sound. His high harmonies are so integral to the Fleet Foxes sound. Without them, the band would sound a lot different. Apparently he was solely responsible for the amazing vocal arrangements for the Mykonos coda, one of the loveliest passages of music and harmonies in their back catalogue.

The acid test for any act is how they translate albums in a live setting. FF make a monster crowd like this Pitchfork audience seem somehow intimate. Amazing musicianship. Their cover of Curtis Mayfield and the Impression's "Fool For You" was just sublime. Hopefully there are more teenage kids out there starting to want to take the whole thing forward like the Foxes obviously did when they first formed.

This is a legendary set and I’m jealous of everyone in that pit

Just when I thought I loved Grown Ocean to a point I couldn't possibly top, that live performance of that song just made me love it even more. An absolutely amazing set from an incredible band.

I saw them live in a dark bar with a very small crowd in 2008 and they were fantastic. The first LP wasn’t even out yet. I walked away with the Sun Giant EP. They sound even better now. His voice is fantastic. I didn’t recognize him at first without the long hair and beard. What a great band.

This is a band that just keeps getting better and better all the time. Been a fan of them since 2008. First watched this video in 2019, at the time I was blown away, thought this was a band absolutely at it's peak, couldn't imagine them getting any better. Just saw them live a few nights ago, at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was easily the best live performance I've ever witnessed

I like how the entire audience knows the song just by the opening chord. This was magnificent, thanks Pitchfork!
