Strung out loosely along the Surrey/Hampshire border there're all these sleepy towns where not a huge amount ever seems to happen. One course of action is to hunker down in leafy Farnham with a bunch of cold stubbies, tell yourself isn't-it-lovely-and-besides-it 's-not-Aldershot and live vicariously through other people's noise. Unhappy with or unaware of this option, Hold Your Horse Is decided make the noise themselves. It'd be remiss of anyone writing about Hold Your Horse Is not to mention the very obvious parallels that can be drawn between their debut full length Frimley [...]
Alas, after much trouble, toil, and turmoil, the Dirty Bourbon River Show has finally come upon new van. There is such a relief in knowing that we can now arrive at our destinations safely, comfortably, and with more efficient gas milage!

We like Guillemots [ Twitter / Facebook ]. A lot. Do you feel the same? If so, you're probably aware that the band released an album two months back called Hello Land!. You're probably also aware of the fact that it is the first of four (!) albums the band have planned for release this year. As well as using this post to highlight the fact that the band reckon the second of these albums (the summer-themed one) will be out next month, we're also going to let you guys have a free download of Fleet , just because [...]
Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold has shared a new track on his Soundcloud page. The new demo, Olivia, In A Seperate Bed is a heartfelt and wistful acoustic strum that lays bear both his subtle way with words and his clean, fragile vocal strength. Have a listen below and let us know what you think... * * * GFP.
Following the release of their stunning second album Helplessness Blues earlier this year, Fleet Foxes have revealed they will be retuning to the UK in 2012 for a string of live dates. Kicking off in Glasgow on 1 March the 4 new dates will coincide nicely with their confirmed appearance at the postponed Jeff Mangum ATP. March 1 - O2 Academy, Glasgow 2 - Empress Ballroom, Blackpool 4 - O2 Academy, Birmingham 5 - Brixton O2 Academy, London 9/10 – Jeff Mangum’s [...]
Listen to young British sensation Birdy's brilliant covers of 'White Winter Hymnal,' 'Terrible Love,' and 'The District Sleeps Alone Tonight.'
Photo by Sean Pecknold I either used to have a closed mind towards folk music, or I just hadn't heard the right folk music until last year. At the mere mention of folk music I would start snoring (or, if I wanted to be polite, would just smile while my eyes glazed over as I [...]
Fleet Foxes- Blue Spotted Tail
birdy - white winter hymnal (fleet foxes cover) [oh this is dangerous... birdy covers yet another indie classic (and one of my all time favorite songs) for the masses. lucky for her, she manages to do a nice spin that not only makes it her own, but seasonally gorgeous for the winter. the girl can definitely do covers, but once again... release something original already!] http://feeds.feedburner.com/Wo ngiesMusicWorld
Despite not having blogged about her at all, I have slowly developed a soft spot for Birdy , aka Jasmine Van den Bogaerde. The English 15-year-old has got herself quite a unique niche in delivering stirring covers of indie faves like Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" , and The xx's "Shelter" . With her debut self-titled album out on November 7, she is giving away a free download of album track "White Winter Hymnal" . Such good timing it is too, considering the Northeast's unfortunately early winter this year. The Fleet Foxes cover boasts a [...]
This guy looks like a member of Fleet Foxes, but he’s no folkster. Give this song a listen. Think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Canon Blue - “Indian Summer (Des Moines)” Though Canon Blue’s “Indian Summer (Des Moines)” exhibits a cheerful, even playful sound, the song turns out to address a deteriorating and long-neglected relationship. “No, you won’t ever reach me,” repeats the chorus, which seamlessly blends Daniel James’ subdued lead vocals with falsetto backups, in the process communicating the hopelessness of a doomed relationship. “Consider this a sign / Consider [...]
![[Listen/Download] – Silver Swans – “He Doesn’t Know Why (Fleet Foxes Cover)”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3819701_lg.jpg)
Tweet It's been nearly a year since Listen Before You Buy 's dream-pop darlings Silver Swans put out their " Secrets " EP. In September they gave us the sweet remix of Burning Hearts' " Into The Wilderness " as a reminder that they are still playing the fantastic music that has made them so easy to love but also still having their hands creating incredible music even if it's not a song of their own. A [...]
O indie-pop do Vampire Weekend , apesar de retirar influências da world music, não parece muito compatível com o folk introspectivo do Fleet Foxes . Logo, uma versão dos barbudos para a banda de Ezra Koenig não funcionaria...ou funcionaria? Robin Pecknold e sua banda aceitaram o desafio e você pode ouvir agora mesmo a versão do Fleet Foxes para o sucesso Giving Up The Gun . O Fleet Foxes conseguiu transformar Giving up the gun em uma faixa que não causaria estranhamento na tracklist do [...]
En mayo de este año Fleet Foxes presentó su segundo álbum Helplessness Blues . The Shrine / An Argument es una de las doce canciones que conforman el disco y hace algunas horas podemos ver el adelanto de lo que será su video. Son 26 segundos en los que uno no llega a ver mucho, pero la conjunción de imagen y sonido que presenta sugiere que este video va a valer la pena. [...]
Sean Pecknold made a full length animated video to Fleet Foxes' 8 minute opus 'The Shrine / An Argument'. Here's the teaser - the whole thing to follow soon.
Photo by Philip Cosores We rarely post teasers for music videos (and seriously, a thirty-second preview for a clip that isn't going to last more than five minutes is kind of ridiculous), but sometimes these short samplings really capture our interest and our imagination, as is the case with the animated preview of Fleet Foxes' upcoming video for "The Shrine / An Argument" from this year's album of the year contender Helplessness Blues . Taking the song and the visuals into account, this could be a truly special video. [...]

Fleet Foxes promoted latest album Helplessness Blues with a performance of "Grown Ocean." The Tonight Show With Jay Leno (NBC): LMFAO Rerun from September 15. The hip-hop duo performed [...]
This is not good : A computer virus has infected the cockpits of America’s Predator and Reaper drones, logging pilots’ every keystroke as they remotely fly missions over Afghanistan and other warzones. The virus, first detected nearly two weeks ago by the military’s Host-Based Security System, has not prevented pilots at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada from flying their missions overseas. Nor have there been any confirmed incidents of classified information being lost or sent to an outside source. But the virus has resisted multiple efforts to remove it from Creech’s computers, [...]
