Sun Giant EP Reviews
I started with their debut album and took a couple of days of non-stop listening before I got hooked. Since that time, I have listened to this EP non-stop for months and am not even close to getting tired of it. A couple of weeks later, I added "Sun Giant". Myknonos might be the best song of 2008 and the other four tracks are nearly as special. Sure there are critics, but for my money, the Fleet Foxes have put out some of the best sounding and most compelling music of 2008. There are only five songs on this EP, but every single song, for that matter, every note is pure perfection.
I first got Fleet Foxes full length cd.after listening to that I had to get all their stuff. After a few listens these songs get into your head.Heard interview with them.seem like really cool guys.
My suggestion: buy the EP, bath in its Autumn-afternoonish glory, and, if satisfied, buy the album for a few more good tracks and to provide fiscal support to this fantastic band. This EP is truly monumental. The album is good, but for some reason the EP retains a crispness throughout its five tracks that the album does not. I have never really heard anything like it, and, personally, i like it better than their subsequent album.
This band is different sounding than most music you hear today Its very refreshing while remaining meaningful. This short album is a good introduction to the style of Fleet Foxes. Review some audio clips and I'm sure you'll agree.
If these guys keep up with this stuff they'll really be doing something. I put this in the CSN, Moody Blues, Jethro Tull category. It's rare nowadays to find any band putting out music that really showcases music, harmonies and vocals. Tracks 1 & 5 are 3 stars, 2,3 & 4 are 5 star. Excellent album overall.
