If “Baroque Shins” isn’t conjuring anything for you, how about: Fleet Foxes are estrogen-powered Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Itchy-Beard Left Banke, or Subaru-Outback-hand-me-down-from-Mom-and-Dad Bert Jansch. (Hmmm, maybe these brief descriptions would be more useful if I weren’t so fond of Fleet Foxes.)
Well, who can say honestly he doesn’t harbor a curiosity about the ethos and dynamics of the hippie? Ps– is that fleet foxes record good?

Buy a Love Battery or Cat Butt record from Sub Pop instead.
