What you say No-one has reviewed White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes yet. Give us your opinion on White Winter Hymnal by Fleet Foxes. What we say This record left our Bret feeling happy. I'm vaguely aware that Fleet Foxes have has a bit of attention but I hadn't given them any myself since I knew it wouldn't really be my bag, the good thing about being here is that you get to make your wild, unfair assumptions and judgements concrete by actually being forced to hear the stuff, then feel smug for being right. Not this time though, I really quite like this 'White Winter Hymnal' 7". The title's pretty descriptive with the layered vocals and melody very redolent of something you might hear being sung by nervous young children in a church while a manky old priest stands behind them feeling their backs up. It made me think of Simon & Garfunkel with Beach Boys harmonies, Phil reckons it's like My Morning Jacket. Hark at how lovely it is! What the label says: “White Winter Hymnal” is the extraordinary debut single from the band of the moment - Fleet Foxes – and the first track to be taken from their incredible self-titled debut album which looks set to be the most acclaimed album of 2008. Signed to Bella Union in the UK/Europe and Sub Pop in the US, Fleet Foxes draw on a variety of influences - gospel, hymns, folk, motown, baroque pop, country-rock – to produce their astonishing music.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
