Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues

Fleet Foxes fans have waited for the release of new material forever! Finally, Fleet Foxes delivers a beauty. Helplessness Blues not only has that warm adventurous tone that Fleet Foxes always bring to the table, but there is also this essence of Simon & Garfunkel. The drawn-out vocal harmonies, the slight giddy-up in the guitar rhythm, and even some of the lyrics. This allusion really is in full view during the chorus.

But I don’t, I don’t know what that will be
I’ll get back to you someday soon you will see

I wonder if this is a new inspiration for Fleet Foxes. Are Fleet Foxes the new music from America? What’s a better band to emote Americana than Simon & Garfunkel? Seriously, next time you go on a road trip across the U.S. listen to Simon & Garfunkel. It fits.

Check out the track. You can download it for FREE.
