Helplessness Blues

Released 2011Folk & Singer-Songwriter
Classic

More ambitious and searching than the debut, rich with harmony and questioning lyrics. Expansive and lovely. A folk high point. Released in 2011, it's a key entry in Fleet Foxes's run.

On vinyl: A vinyl-revival-era release, so fresh pressings are usually easy to find new.
