[The New Classics is a reoccurring segment in which we examine our favorite indie releases that are bound to replace our parent's "classic rock" stash hidden in the attic or the basement. These aren't reviews, these are unedited testimonies and opinions about why we love what we love. Can we get a witness?] Words by Jim Album: Fleet Foxes Artist: Fleet Foxes Released: June 3, 2008 Label: Bella Union [...]

A bailarina e vocalista dinamarquesa Nanna Fabricius , mais conhecida pelo nome artistico Oh Land (trocadilho com "Øland", seu nome do meio) é a convidada de hoje no quadro Mashup Mondays da Billboard gringa. A cantora fez uma bela releitura e uniu sua voz doce e o ar etéreo de seu dream pop ao ritmo envolvente da bela White Winter Himnal , do Fleet Foxes . Coisa linda de se ouvir. A cantora aproveitou também para dar uma palhinha de seu segundo disco [...]

Oh, Oh Land. It seems as though everything she touches becomes absolutely charming and entirely her own. Case in point: her cover of Fleet Foxes ' breakthrough "White Winter Hymnal". Yes, the original oozes harmonizing magic and is hard to top, but Oh Land understands that. On her take, she wisely reimagines the song under the guise of her electro-meets-symphonic pop, adding that lovable dash of whimsy. Watch a studio version and a live version of the Oh Land's cover below (both differ from one another, and the live version transitions into another song). [...]
Chromeo is playing the House of Blues in Boston tonight and I will most certainly be there....

Estava esperando justamente por um terceiro cover legal aparecer, até que recebo um email da equipe da Oh Land, me apresentando o mais novo cover da cantora, justamente um do Fleet Foxes, que acaba de lançar um single novo. Sem demoras, também temos aqui um cover novíssimo do Gobble Gobble para a viciante "Nikki" do The Dream, e uma versão electro-rock para "Whip My Hair" (que achei lá no ótimo QDNG !). Oh Land - White Winter Hymnal (Fleet Foxes Cover) [...]

Another band we're fond of return today. Fleet Foxes give us the title track (& a free download no less) from their forthcoming album "Helplessness Blues". Read More >>
The best band of 2008 are gearing up to make the best album of 2011 but until we get that how about a Christmas present? 'White Winter Hymnal' and 'Mykonos' get some remix treatment from band member Casey Wescott. But not any normal remix treatment. You have probably heard a [Read more]

A few weeks back I headed over to influential music website Daytrotter , and decided to mine their vast archives of fantastic in-studio recordings from a veritable who's who of indie-rock act - downloading some 150-plus songs. If you're unfamiliar with the site, its a great place to discover up and coming bands, as well as hear your favorites in a laid back live setting. So with that in mind, I thought I'd give you a mix of some of my favorites that I found on Grooveshark. So sit back, enjoy and play it loud… [...]

image: flickr Snacktime, kids. I have a feeling summer poolside music is going to continue going strong through the fall, possibly winter and spring. Yep, I think it's going to be one of those years. Come get cozy with Knightlife again. You've all should have heard this by now, but if not... listen real hard. [See post to listen to audio] Knightlife - Crusader I think this one was ripped from The Twelves [...]

Photo by Kid Paparazzi THE REMIXES - PART 5 - THE TWELVES It's been a little while since we did a 'remix special' here on The Recommender. Previous editions, including the likes of Soulwax , DiscoTech , Bloc Party and The Golden Filter , proved to be amongst some of the most popular posts we've ever had on this blog. This only goes to prove the popularity and power of a good remix. These days, checking the Hype Machine backs this [...]
Who knew that the Fleet Foxes could be so danceable? I guess if anyone were to do it, it would be The Twelves … Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal (The Twelves Remix).mp3 - Albert

It's easier to make a pop or dance song as Song of The Week. The adjectives are more descriptive, and when in doubt, just TYPE IN CAPS AND TALK ABOUT HOW LOUD AND FUN THE BEATS ARE. Plus, the minute I describe Fleet Foxes as "folk," half of you will close your browsers. Yup, I now have only one person reading. Thank you for sticking with me, Mom. Yes, Fleet Foxes are more mellow than, say, Asteroids Galaxy Tour . But lead singer Robin Pecknold has been absent from the scene [...]

While recovering from the gnarliest flu I've had in about 10 years, a buddy sent me a text telling me to check out this tune. It may have been the fever induced hallucinations, or the absurd amount of medication coursing through my veins, but something set me off and I instantly fell in love with this number. White Winter Hymnal comes from the five-piece Seattle based indie/baroque-pop band Fleet Foxes . The song was released as the first single in support of the band's 2008 self-titled debut album. The album was one of the most highly [...]
Cool animated video synced to White Winter Hymnal by the Fleet Foxes, one of our favorite songs of 2008.

Trust me when I say that 2008 was a good year for music. Granted, I think 2007 was a much better year for music with amazing albums from artists like LCD Soundsystem, Arcade Fire and Spoon, but 2009 was the year that will always be remember by two words...auto tune. And even though it certainly [...]
