Well, this is a bit of good news on an otherwise dull and grey Tuesday afternoon.
One of the best new acts we’ve heard for some time, Fleet Foxes, have signed a UK deal with none other than our friends Bella Union. There was some news recently of them having signed to Sub Pop, but that’s just for the US.
Their wonderfully delicate and tuneful spin of Americana is awash with delicate vocal harmonies and guitars that sound like the flow of fresh water on a Spring’s day. Yes, they’re THAT good. If Band of Horses, Phoshporescent, Bonnie “Prince” Billy and Blitzen Trapper are your cup of tea, you’ve just found your new favourite band.
Stream the excellent acapella drenched goodness of ‘Winter White Hymnal’ below:
And, whilst you wait for more details, here’s their Myspace page so you can brush up on some of their songs.

i think they’ve taken it off their myspace page now, but the song ‘blue ridge mountain’ has quite possibly the most beautiful vocal ive heard in a long, long time. so excited about hearing the album. yay to bella union!
This is beautiful, moving music – a musical oasis. As an American living in the UK, I am thrilled that they have signed with companies in both countries. I predict a long and wonderful future for Fleet Foxes! When do they tour? I want tickets!
i agree on both counts…one of the most exciting bands who make sublime music to take us all off to places we’d rather be.. they will be here may/june time…check here and at bellaunion.com for details over the next few weeks…
Fleet Foxes are coming to town in a couple months w/Blitzen Trapper. Yup, I’m excited!!
Playing ULU, London with Beach house on 11th June! possibly more europe & Uk dates around that time
no shit? where d’ya see that?
well im confused i got a ticket via ticketweb this morning and have checked and the listing has been taken down on both ticketweb & see tickets and on the bella union live dates page so i dont know whats happening, I thought Ulu could of been slightly too big for them at the moment was expecting a smaller gig
hmmmmmmm im sure we’ll have official word from bella union very soon..
