Fleet Foxes – Mykonos
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.
