"I loved Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell from a young age. It was music that spoke to me in a different way and allowed me to escape. That's still what I look for in music. It's about something that connects with more than just your experience. It has to go beyond where you've been and pull you there."
SO SAID FLEET FOXES MAINMAN ROBIN Recknold speaking to MOJO for the hand's first major piece in April 2008, and describing his love of American songcraft and its transcendental qualities. Since then, Robin and his band have indeed pulled a vast number of listeners into their own world, drawing them in with a sense ol melody that is both beguiling and utterly mesmerising.
This month, as MOJO proudly celebrates the rise and triumph of Fleet Foxes, we also bring you this bespoke 15 track collection of music that proves that America is itself back in touch with its own musical roots.
From The Low Anthem through to Animal Collective and on to a returning Bill Callahan, this is music that is both cosmic and yet possessed of a charm that is entirely human. Welcome, then to a New Harvest — uplifting sounds of a New America.
