farmerslidejoebob Best Track, sounds kinda heroic to me, love everything and also the fading out ending :D Favorite track: Mykonos.

Jake Williams This EP essentially started it all when it comes to the Fleet Foxes' initial run of success. Its a little more stripped-down from the debut full-length release but it still contains what makes the band truly great. If you love pastoral nature-driven folk, you NEED to check this out, you definitely won't regret it! Favorite track: Drops In The River.

Caleb Bratcher Lighter than their other releases, but equally good. The atmosphere in these tracks is powerful. Favorite track: Sun Giant.

about

The Sun Giant EP is our first release with the really very wonderful, baroque harmonic pop combo Fleet Foxes. Their names are Skye, Robin, Joshua, Casey, and Christian and they live here in Seattle, Wash. We will be releasing a longer-length (some might even say “full-length”) recording of theirs on June the 3rd, 2008. This forthcoming recording will, in all likelihood, bear the same name as the band, and by that we mean Fleet Foxes.

The following quote is here out of context (and perhaps misused or misconstrued as a result) and taken from the inside cover of Sun Giant. Whatever else it might be, it makes for about as good of a “statement of purpose” as anything we’ve read:

“I don’t really know what I’m trying to say with this. It’s not good to romanticize a time of great hardship, hardship I’ve never known and am not conditioned to understand. I’m also not interested in a ‘back to nature’ thing, as nature as it was is gone for the time being and it would take a very big leap of faith and common sense to ignore that. But, music to me is just as awe-bringing as the world maybe once was, and I just love it a lot.”

We love it a lot, too.

Illinois
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 33 fans who also own “Sun Giant”

Throughout this album, somehow, Sufjan makes me care about the state of Illinois. From detailed depictions of various landmarks and folklore, to moments of deep personal introspection; Illinois builds an incredibly dense narrative out of it's seemingly simple concept. The variety of sounds on this album is remarkable, compelling me to smile in one moment, then leaving me a sobbing mess in the next. One of the very few albums I'd consider to be 100% perfect.
