FLEET FOXES - LIVE IN SINGAPORE
Seattle-based indie band Fleet Foxes seemed to have arrived fully formed, with their lush and pastoral eponymous debut album in 2008. Their subsequent works, Helplessness Blues (2011) and Crack-Up (2017), were also released to widespread acclaim. Music website Pitchfork said of the latter: "Fleet Foxes are still a folk act, though one that's absorbed far-flung versions of the term."
