Reviews

The album was highly acclaimed by the critics. So awarded The Guardian and The Observer full credit for the album. Allmusic rates the album with four out of five and Pitchfork Media with 9.0 out of 10 points.

Also laut.de awards with five out of five full points and draws a conclusion:

“Categorizations like neo-folk or freak-folk don't really get to the heart of the music of this young quintet. In any case, their music lets folk pop shine in a new light. The Fleet Foxes fall back on different folkloric traditions of the world and bundle them in eleven timeless songs, which they call "baroque harmonic pop jams". Let's leave it at that. Great debut of a somehow different band that defies the abyss of humanity in a very magical way. "
