Fleet Foxes - Shore

On initial listens, Shore suffers by being so evidently a Fleet Foxes album (years after I last listened to a new record of theirs, it's like they never went away) and also by being so uniform in its texture and quality - both of which tend to cause the individual songs to blur together. Luckily, on repeated listens, it turns out to be excellent, and if there aren't any real individual stand-out moments (closest are maybe "Sunblind" and "Maestranza"), that matters less when the whole is sustained at such a high level of quality.
