Tonight @ the Pabst Theater - 8 p.m.
Not since the Arcade Fire’s perfect Funeral
has a debut album by an indie-rock band been as uniformly lauded as
Fleet Foxes’ self-titled debut. Fleet Foxes soak their hazy, Neil
Young-ish country-pop songs in buckets of reverb, meaning on paper
they’re not much different from other animal-checking indie-rock peers
like Band of Horses and Grizzly Bear, but Fleet Foxes are, frankly,
better than either of those bands, their harmonies richer, their songs
dreamier and more mysterious. The band’s 8 p.m. Pabst Theater concert
tonight...
