Song of the Week 2/27

Rotation 1

Fleet Foxes, Helplessness Blues - "Helplessness Blues"

In 2008 Fleet Foxes stepped out onto the scene with their debut album, Fleet Foxes.  It was a fresh revitalization of story-telling, vocal harmonies, and instrumentation that had been missing in the recent years.  Since then many bands, such as, Mumford & Sons and Local Natives have emerged rounding out the spectrum with their own flavor.  Due out in May, Fleet Foxes will release their follow-up album, Helplessness Blues.  I am amped!






Rotation 2

Alexander, Alexander - "A Million Years"

You might recognize the voice of Alexander Ebert, lead singer for breakout group Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, as he released his solo album this past week. Listening to his songs, it is hard not to just feel good. I'm also enthralled by his song "Truth."

"Like a rainbow crash
As we bow and swirl
Been a million years full of tears
But I found my girl

Like exploding sun
Let the light unfurl
Been a million years full of fears
But I found my girl"
