Video: Fleet Foxes: "Katie Cruel" / "Oliver James" / "Innocent Son" (Live on "Backstage Sessions")

Everyone including yours truly went nuts over Fleet Foxes last week at SXSW, marveling at just how well the Seattle band was able to bring the reverb-drenched harmonies of their records to life onstage. We see another side of the group on these three videos from Nashville's Hard to Find a Friend blog, which were shot as part of the site's "Backstage Sessions" series (in which-- yup-- they record bands singing in an intimate setting backstage); lead singer Robin Pecknold offers a solo take on the standard "Katie Cruel" as well as versions of stripped-down songs from the Sun Giant EP ("Innocent Son") and their forthcoming debut full-length ("Oliver James").






[the Sun Giant EP is out now; Fleet Foxes is due 06/03/08; both from Sub Pop]
