So if James Blake, Joanna Newsom and Florence Welch’s music had a child, it would probably sound a little like this

Two of my favorite singer/songwriters did a collab.  Gold.  Pure gold.

This comes from a status update on the Fleet Foxes Facebook page that Robin personally updates:

Hi, Robin here. I recorded three songs in LA a couple weeks ago with my friend Noah. One is a new song that’s a duet with my buddy Ed Droste from the amazing band Grizzly Bear, one is a solo new song, and one is a cover. Hope you enjoy! Here’s the link to download http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MNB143XT

Bleed American is an underrated album by Jimmy Eat World that maybe gets written off because of that single “The Middle.”  But there were plenty of great tracks on the album. I recommend checking the songs: “A Praise Chorus” “Sweetness” “If You Don’t” and “The Authority Song.”  The song above is the title track off Bleed American, which sounds like it could have came from their early days as an emo band.
