A Few Questions About A Song?

way to get back on the question-askin' train again!! all ABOARD!

1. Makes me wish I could get psychedelic again

2. Reminds me of the Mammas and the Papas

3. Reminds me of what I'm coining "psych-folk"...but I'm afraid I'm of no help at all here

Hello Darth :)

Fleet Foxes are one of those bands that I just couldn't get into {and you know I love my Folk-Rock!}. I like the sound of that particular song, but the vocals and music of the rest put me off - most of them sound the same.

Anyway, to answer your questions :~

1) It's catchy, often played on the radio here, and it may be starting to appeal more...

2) I can hear elements of the following in there :

Fairport Convention

CSN

The Mamas and The Papas

1970 - 1974 era Fleetwood Mac {Bob Welch / Danny Kirwan / Christine McVie}

Mellow Candle

another band that I just can't recall the name of...

3) Well, Based on that song, I'd call it Folk-Rock, but on Wiki they are classed as that and 'indie pop' {???}

The song comes from the 2008 EP "Sun Giant"

Karl, definitely a 70s influence. They seem like a cool band. I just picked up their album.

Anyway, good song. Not their best, but a good one.

1. Yes

2. Sort of, although they remind me a lot of My Morning Jacket, who's a current act.

3. Well, you got the album name already, but I'd say Alt/Folk Rock? I don't know, classifying bands never works out for me.

fleet foxes are great, i think they are hitting the pulse of the new but old style of rock - baroque or chamber rock. They have a folk feel too, being influenced by Dylan and Neil Young. Sun Giant is the EP It's kind of a throw back to late 60's pop.

Definitely folksie, sounds like a folksie Bruce Springsteen or John Mellancamp ballad.

1 Very much!

2 thats not too far of a stretch!

3 you got the answer above me...
