White Antelope

Here are 5 songs from Robin Pecknold's (Fleet Foxes) solo project, White Antelope, where he pretty much reworks old traditional songs,(except "It Ain't Me, Babe" and "Guitar Duet") like Sam Amidon did. He claims he only records these when he has a writer's block. It's still worth listening too, especially "Silver Dagger". None of these songs have had a formal release. (I forgot to add "Katie Cruel", so I will re-up).

Also check out the cover of "Katie Cruel" on the Backstage Sessions. Robin Pecknold's voice is flawless.

Fleet Foxes (2008)

This is my favorite band of this year so far. They sound like a primitive and subdued yet more harmonious version of At Dawn-era My Morning Jacket (making up for Evil Urges.)
