Helplessness Blues专辑介绍
滚石杂志2011年最佳专辑排名第四。
这应该是今年最受期待的专辑吧。对于拥有挑剔的耳朵的乐评家和乐迷来说，这应该就算今年最受期待的唱片之一了。在上张同名专辑彻底惊艳乐坛，倾倒全世界无数专业音乐人士和乐迷，在千呼万唤和万众期待中，三年后，这个年轻但是才气十足的乐队发行了他们的第二张专辑，他们受到的压力是可想而知的；不出所料，这是一张传承他们智慧的高质量或专辑，专辑一发行就获得了漫天赞誉，AMG，滚石两家挑剔的机构都给出了4星的高分；而其他很多评价给出的满分和五星则是满天飞了；怎么说这张专辑呢，不要指望能超越上张的高度中·，毕竟太难，但是这张依旧不输上张，专辑中透露出的智慧和意境以及玩味，需要听者自觉去发掘和领会了；专辑比起上张专辑，更加精致和大气，好听的和声和高超的乐器演奏，十足养耳；每首歌都是为之细细品味的精品，非常精彩和值得收藏的一张唱片；喜欢民谣的乐迷不可错过。
专辑一发行就已10万的销量夺得美国销量榜的第四，对于一个并没有太多宣传的乐队，这个成绩真的很吓人了，目前发行已经三周了，仍然在销量前十，可见他们的好口碑。
2005年，几位刚毕业的西雅图的毕业生组合了一个以传统福音民谣乐队，在东拼西凑借钱，找人，找关系，千辛万苦之后发行了自己的第一张专辑，谁知道一发行就便在评论界放了个炸弹，赞誉和好评无数，大家都为他们年纪轻轻，却难得的拥有高超的音乐技巧和强大的音乐智慧所折服。他们的音乐以福音民谣为基调，充满了一股教堂味；更好笑的是主唱Robin Pecknold长得和Jesus很像···使得这个乐队更为大家所玩味和喜爱；目前这个乐队很年轻，但是实力确实难得的老练的高超，很看好他们，希望他们以后会有更多的惊喜给我们。
The band's second album is in the works. Initially Pecknold had stated he would like it to be released in 2009. However, the band's touring schedule had caused them some setbacks. They got together to rehearse new songs in February 2009 in a rented house outside Seattle but the sessions were mostly scrapped. After their tour in support of the 2008 releases ended, the band's singer-songwriter mentioned the possibility of starting to record new songs, but J. Tillman is scheduled to play Europe and North America all along the 2009-10 winter as part of his solo project. Added to this Phil Ek, the band's producer and friend has answered in an interview that he is likely to continue as the producer as Robin has already sent him some demos to start listening. In an interview with Pitchfork, Pecknold stated that he expected the album to be released sometime in the second half of 2010.[2]
Robin has revealed that for their second album he will try to sound "less poppy, less upbeat and more groove-based". Taking inspiration from Roy Harper's psychedelic classic, Stormcock, or at least its 12-string guitar he said: "That will be the primary sonic distancing from the last record". Added to this, he stated they will try to record very quickly, saying he wants to do the "vocal takes in one go, so even if there are fuck-ups, I want them to be on there. I want there to be guitar mistakes. I want there to be not totally flawless vocals. I want to record it and have that kind of cohesive sound. Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, to me, is the best-sounding album because it sounds like there were only six hours in the universe for that album to be recorded in. So I want it to have that feeling."[3]
The band has been recording since April in different locations (including West Hurley, New York) after two years writing material and scrapped the earlier idea of a fast recording (although according to the band, the vocal takes as of yet have all been done in one take, perhaps in line with the original idea). According to their self-maintained Facebook page, the album will be released on May 3, 2011
Pecknold stated via Facebook that the new album is "Totally done and mastered and has been for a bit" and that "Announcements [are] coming soon."
In a press release from the band on 31 Jan 2011, it was revealed that former Blood Brothers and Past Lives multi-instrumenalist Morgan Henderson has been officially added to the Fleet Foxes lineup.
The album cover was illustrated by Seattle artist Toby Liebowitz and painted by artist Chris Alderson.[4]
