Enter the Calm

The calm before the storm.  Or maybe there is no storm.  Regardless of what is to become, here is my one hundred twenty-seventh pick.

Artist - Fleet Foxes
Album - Fleet Foxes
Released - 2008
Label - Sub Pop
Genre - Indie Folk, Folk Rock

Tracks:
Sun It Rises
White Winter Hymnal
Ragged Wood
Tiger Mountain Peasant Song
Quiet Houses
He Doesn't Know Why
Heard Them Stirring
Your Protector
Medowlarks
Blue Ridge Mountains
Oliver James

So I learned a new word today and this word probably should've been something I already knew, but whatever.  So when I usually pick an album, I wiki the album just to get the specs of the year and what they classify the genre as compared to what I classify them as.  When I pulled up this album, this is what it said: 

Fleet Foxes is the eponymous debut studio album by the Seattle, Washington-based band Fleet Foxes.

Eponymous means (of a person) being the person after whom a literary work, film, etc., is named.  You learn something new everyday.  To continue with this album, which is a surprisingly mind blowing, I enjoy listening to Fleet Foxes.  One of my favorite songs on this record is Ragged Wood.  Such great lyrics and so beautiful.  I consider myself to be more of a lover when it comes to music so when I hear an album that pleases me and they lyrics are just as good, I fall in love.  It's easy for me to fall in love with an album, if it's that good and this album is one of those that I have fallen in love with.

Enjoy!
