With rippling indie folk and lush chamber pop harmonies, Fleet Foxes won over critics and audiences with their self-titled debut album and its follow up Helplessness Blues. It’s earthy, misty music that feels like being set adrift in a warm fogbank. But with their latest release, Crack Up, Fleet Foxes got weird, embracing experimental tone shifts and dissonant orchestral stabs. It’s as if their metaphorical drifting boat has entered choppy seas that roil with riptides. Fleet Foxes’ journey has been cool, but it just got interesting.
