Sure, we have written about Fleet Foxes a million times already (see links below)
Sure they flaked on their interview with us
Sure, half of you are mad about tonight’s show being sold out
Sure, this may just add some salt to the wound but hey, a song this good, and FINALLY a proper video from the Foxes deserve a post:
Fresh from the pktv oven today: White Winter Hymnal in all its baroque symphonic pop glory:
Be prepared to cry tonight
bonus: stereogum has the mp3 ready to download here
plethora of previous coverage:
We love Fleet Foxes:

Only a few measures of the song in the video impressed me. Maybe I’ll check the show out tonight before writing them off completely.
Doesn’t drink the kool-ade, ever.

July 7, 2008 at 3:52 pmNot to sound like a not-nice person…but usually the best songs only impress you for a few measures. The other measures serve as a contrast and buildup to those amazing moments…without them, the impressive measures would not be impressive, much like without the universe, Earth would seem so much bigger than it really is.
July 8, 2008 at 9:11 amI knew this show would sell out! They’ve been selling out nearly all their shows! :-)
