My first contemporary post (!) is to point out the amazing majesty of Fleet Foxes on the first new song to emerge from the new album is just staggering.
'Helplessness Blues' opens with a strident acoustic strum that brings early Simon And Garfunkel in protest mode to mind. That then melts into a rolling, harmony-drenched section with wafts of electric guitar, a vista across the wide open plains of Robin Pecknold's imagining.
"If I had an orchard, I'd work till I'm sore," he intones as the music is stripped away to almost nothing.
Staggering.
