One of the top five albums of the year came out this week. We aren't talking about Weezer's Red Album either. Perhaps not anticipated by many, Fleet Foxes released their self-titled album off of Sub Pop Records today.
After hearing the album multiple times over after obtaining a copy in early May, we at MusicUnderFire see something great here. Following up their Sun Giant EP from earlier this year, Fleet Foxes shines with their sultry version of folk rock. Why so good? Every instrument fits well and any possible gap is filled with multiple refreshing interludes. This album sings to the soul and we hope you give it a listen to.
Also besides Weezer, Ladytron dropped Velocifero, which has created quite a niche for those waiting on an electric album to follow-up Cut Copy. Although not as 90s dance, the new wave beats and Helen Marnia's ardent vocals justify a few listens.
