Fleet Foxes (Sub Pop, 2008) is the debut album of the Seattle-based band Fleet Foxes. The album has been one of the most highly acclaimed records of 2008 and reviewers often noted their use of refined lyrics and vocal harmonies. Fleet Foxes received four stars from Rolling Stone, who compared it to the likes of the Beach Boys, Animal Collective, and Crosby, Stills & Nash. The Guardian was particularly complementary, awarding the album five stars and declaring it "a landmark in American music, an instant classic." Fleet Foxes is a five-piece Seattle based band signed to the labels Sub Pop and Bella Union. Principal songwriter Robin Pecknold decided upon the name "Fleet Foxes", suggesting that it was "evocative of some weird English activity like fox hunting". The cover art for Fleet Foxes is the 1559 painting Netherlandish Proverbs (also called The Blue Cloak or The Topsy Turvy World) by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The quintet describe their music as "baroque harmonic pop jams".
