"Ragged Wood" comes from Fleet Foxes' self-titled debut album, released by Sub Pop and Bella Union on June 3, 2008, the record that made a Seattle band formed only in 2006 by Robin Pecknold and Skyler Skjelset into critics' darlings. Pecknold wrote it and sings lead, and Phil Ek produced and mixed it.
It's a galloping, sun-dappled folk-rock rush, all stacked harmonies and forward motion. Pecknold and Skjelset play the guitars, Craig Curran bass, Nicholas Peterson drums and percussion, and Casey Wescott keyboards, organ and piano, with Curran, Peterson and Wescott piling on the backing vocals that give the band its hymnal glow. Many critics went on to name the album one of the best of the 2000s.
