Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood & Sun Giant (2008)

This album and EP sound like summer music. The songs are generally upbeat and relaxed, like lying in the grass in the sun feeling lazy and maybe a little drunk. Each song is full of harmonies backed by strummed and plucked acoustic guitars. My favorites are "Your Protector", "Drops In The River", and "English House". For fans of Band of Horses, the Shins, and the sweeter side of My Morning Jacket.

Modern day minstrels in the gallery.

I tried to walk up to their DC show tonight backstage at the Black Cat with Blitzen Trapper and it was sold out. Damn.

It was his Mintrels in the Gallery comment that got you interested was it?
