New Fleet Foxes Video - "White Winter Hymnal"

thumbnail icon: New Fleet Foxes Video - "White Winter Hymnal"

The closest we've come to a video from Fleet Foxes was a little over two weeks ago, when Robin Pecknold performed in the back of a black cab. Thanks to Robin's folk bro Sean Pecknold, who takes a production and clay animation credit here, we don't need to rely on Judee Sill covers to flesh out our Fleet Foxes video archive. In it rivers run, mushrooms grow, and bearded dudes clap along and nod heads in time with nature's cycles. Basically if psychedelic folk music could be made out of clay, it would look like this:

Take it:

Fleet Foxes - "White Winter Hymnal" (MP3)

Fleet Foxes is out via Sub Pop. I don't usually scour Metacritic, but damn.

Beautiful video with a stunning concept, to accompany one of the best songs on one of the best albums of the year. FF can do no wrong.
