so i dont really like bluegrass music. i dont enjoy indie shit too much either. BUT, mixed together it has lullaby qualities that make me feel comfortable with being lighthearted and sensitive at times. at VERY FEW TIMES. Fleet Foxes dropped a self titled album that deserves some listening to. my favorite on the LP is Meadowlark. it's like listening to a Yeats poem in song, but only...slightly less heady. all the instrumentation is pretty relaxed, it's kind of funny really. the guitar is a droll indie sounding guitar, the vocals are very southern bluegrass (and beautiful at that), while every now and then there's a clashing cymbal to make the sound seem more encompassing of presence. banjo flickers and organ climaxes. yeah. check that shit out. im boycotting Coldplay's new album and using this one to get me through.
