"I remember it took 48 hours to dub down Cool Cool Water. Bruce and Carl and I were there for two sun rises, if you can believe that. That was interesting." - Al Jardine, BBC, 1974
"I think I've already said about everything I wanted to in tracks. But maybe the Moog Synthesizer will turn us on to a whole new track thing, too. I'm learning to play it now - patching it and all. It's wild - it looks like a simple keyboard and you think, 'easy.' But you can't play chords on a Moog, except by stacking notes up on the 16-track." - Brian Wilson, Rolling Stone, September 1970
This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
