Fleet Foxes – Mykonos

Released: Januray 26th 2009

Music-fan darlings, Fleet Foxes, re-released ‘Mykonos’ as their latest single. The track was originally part of their ‘Sun Giant’ EP, but it’s since been discontinued, which makes this re-release a grand return of an admirable song.

Robin Pecknold sings with a wistful melancholy about the titular Greek island, the idyllic seat of myth and magic. It can pass for a ballad, with touches of Weezer in its catchy choruses of swaying ‘oh’s’. Listening to the gentle strumming, it’s not hard to picture the bearded Pecknold strolling across the endless, sun-drenched, dusty highway with a suitcase in one hand and a beat-up old acoustic in the other.

    Hello. This is kind of an “unconventional” question , but have other visitors asked you how get the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here.
