Album Review: Fleet Foxes - Shore
“Even at their most stunning and accessible, Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up felt like Pecknold was trying to cut a path through mountains; giving us spectacular views, but unable to fully hide the industry and stress of getting to those points. Shore is almost the opposite, it is him following a path of lesser resistance through the landscape, writing actual choruses and melodic hooks, and finding that there is just as much natural brilliance and artistic merit to approaching his work in this manner.“
One of my favourite acts in the world, Fleet Foxes, returned with their fourth album Shore, so you know I had to review it. Read up over on Beats Per Minute.
