Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes (2008)

As I stated in the previous post, I've been in a state of absolute indie-folk/acoustic music, and I swear when I discovered this album I listened to it 3-4 times in a row every day for the next week or so. With a fairly accessible indie-folk/indie-pop format, a listener of those genres can easily be pulled in by Fleet Foxes' sound. However, what makes their sound really distinct is the beautiful atmosphere in their songs and the landscapes the music creates in your mind. Rich with vocal harmonies, calming sounds that create gorgeous pictures in your mind, and a general catchy sound that derives from their indie rock/pop influences described by the band themselves as "baroque harmonic pop jams," this album is a jewel for any lover of indie or folk music.
