Download “White Winter Hymnal” | This is an entirely overindulgent post–there’s only about a month to go, and I’ve been spending all of my free time obsessing over the elections (luckily I’m not blogging about it here), and I refuse to be overly optimistic, so my breath is held until November 4th. This post is comfort for these nerve-wracking times. It features tons of more photos from the Fleet Foxes show at Webster Hall–and these, taken by Kashish, are far better than the ones I previously posted. My only regret is that keyboardist Casey Wescott was too far off to the left for us to photograph him. And yes, there are a lot of Skyler Skjelset photos. He was standing right in front of us; he looked like a beautiful elf, and the lights were so pretty, and his guitar sounded like twinkling stars, so did you really expect us to restrain ourselves? (I’d like to remind you about these nerve-wracking times). PS. I picked up their vinyl and it features both the self-titled album and Sun Giant EP, plus those marvelous download codes.

All photos by Kashish. Videos by Sahara (from a tiny point-and-shoot, but the quality is surprisingly good–I’m going to add the new song in a while; the second one is “Katie Cruel” unplugged, literally).
