Introduction

I don't remember when I started listening to Fleet Foxes, but I think it was around the time Helplessness Blues was released.  I bought the multi-track stems for Shore even before I had listened to the album.  For years now, I've been working on a handful of projects where I try to figure out every part to every song by a particular band.  I reasoned that since I've been able to make as much progress in those projects as I have (where, at best, my resources extend to alternate mixes or different takes), figuring out parts where each is isolated in a separate track should be fairly simple.  That's the main objective of this project, although I don't plan to start on that until July.  I want to give myself time simply to enjoy the album before scrutinizing every note.

In the meantime, I'll be posting musicological notes I made about the other three albums (but mostly Helplessness Blues, which is my favorite).
