Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues - LP

LP — Fleet Foxes' 2011 second album

Drawing inspiration from folk-rock of 1965–1973 and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks in particular, Helplessness Blues heightens and extends the Fleet Foxes sound — adding clarinet, music box, pedal and lap steel, Tibetan singing bowls and vibraphone — with a focus on clear, direct lyrics and rich group vocal harmonies. A meditation on the struggle between who you are and who you want to be.
