Fleet Foxes
ShoreFollowing a three-year break, indie-folk outfit Fleet Foxes has returned with its fourth studio album, Shore, released this autumnal equinox. Their 2017 release, Crack-Up, saw songwriter Robin Pecknold traipsing into structurally abstract territory. On Shore, Pecknold takes his orchestral, reinvented-’60s-rock sound and places it into a more contextualized format, generously embroidering it with Seattle-born brass quartet, the Westerlies. An intently uplifting work, Shore was written and produced by Pecknold without his bandmates—a first under the Fleet Foxes name.
Pecknold uses the guitar like a composer, writing simple motifs from which he extrapolates scenic, technicolor arrangements featuring acoustic and electric interplay, guiding with melodic lines (“Sunblind” and “Thymia”), creating gentle textures on songs like “Featherweight” and “A Long Way Past the Past,” and at times echoing his Beach Boys-esque, reverb-bathed vocals (“Maestranza”). Shore breathes with a sense of midsummer freedom and contemplation, offering a new heart to a tiring season.
Must-hear tracks: “Featherweight,” “Maestranza”
Bush
The KingdomHaving achieved alt-rock-legend status two decades ago, grunge gods Bush could have easily put out a new album that was a mixed bag. It’s rare for iconic bands not to sound frozen in their own time. But the urgency and momentum throughout The Kingdom’s dozen songs consistently stays up, with energy on par with classics Sixteen Stone and Razorblade Suitcase. Bush comes at it hard-hitting, genuine, and with a pace that doesn’t feel static.
The band’s build-and-release songwriting is airtight, with Gavin Rossdale’s emotive vocals interplaying with Chris Traynor’s anthemic 6-string leads. The opener, “Flowers on a Grave,” features powerful octave riffs, while “Bullet Holes” has a filthy, cutting bass line that intensifies the high-octane track as it ascends into feedback chaos.
Bush didn’t reinvent any wheels on this one, but what’s wrong with the simplicity of a pummeling rock song that hits right?
Must-hear tracks:“Bullet Holes,” “Ghosts in the Machine”
