Fleet Foxes – Battery Kinzie

By staff Tuesday March 22, 2011

BBC’s Radio 1 premiered another new Fleet Foxes song set to appear on their forthcoming album Helplessness Blues. It’s not quite the warm, sprawling title track released a month ago, but further establishes that Helplessness Blues will be more of the same good old folk that made everyone fall in love with their debut album. I’m usually one to criticize a stagnant sound, but personally, I’ll never tire of Robin Pecknold’s voice.

Really didn't care for this at all... then again, it was the same w/ the title track of the new album and that one grew on me a lot. It might the same case with this one, but i doubt it.

It's a radio rip, so I would imagine that's not how it ends.

so far both songs that have came out off the new record Robin played by himself when i saw him opening for Joanna Newsom. i dont know what it is but i dont like these new songs as much as the ones on their self titled, hopefully the album on a whole will be better

new Fleet Foxes song? hell to the yes. and Jash, you're crazy, the last track they released before this would have been the best song on their self-titled. i'll listen to this now.

that was pretty good, hopefully it's one of the weaker tracks on the new album though.

I reckon there is a lot more to this track that the radio didn't play.

The album leaked; listening to this song again and it actually does sound better in the context of the album.
