Our Pick of the Year: Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes brought close vocal harmony and acoustic arrangements into the centre of indie rock. White Winter Hymnal, Ragged Wood and Blue Ridge Mountains sound rooted in older folk traditions, but the layered production is clearly modern. The album helped open a larger audience for the wave of folk-influenced bands that followed.
