I agree with you Fledgy; if you are going to compare Fleet Foxes and their place in the history of American pop and rock music, they'll probably fall into that retro mimic category that in the long scheme of things, will end up being not so significant. but we live in the weird post-modern period where the term "new sound" is genuinely hard to achieve, especially if you're in the 2 guitars, bass, drums and voices arrangement.
even with that said, i prefer fleet foxes over top 40 radio and the majority of indie releases at the moment. but then again, i just listen to stevie wonder and the beach boys on repeat.
