    1. 2.“Directed by Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold's brother, Sean!”
    2. 3.“For some reason, this song calmed my firstborn down more than any other song. Just played it for my second newborn – exact same thing. The only problem is they get all worked up as soon as the song finishes.”

    1. 2.“This sounds like it would be played in a slow-motion gory killing scene in a movie... or a drug trip.”
    2. 3.“Heard this song on 2K and couldn't stop listening. Turns out it's my most played song on Spotify this year, wtf. Gotta keep hiding this gem from the homies, though.”

    1. 2.“I was really hoping the beginning was just a trick to make me think the animation was real... but then I saw the holes in the board. Man... so much time.”
    2. 3.“Revisiting this in an age swamped by AI slop. The amount of labor in this video could send someone into a seizure today.”

    2. 3.“A month after I first saw this video in 2009, I was at a friend's art showing in Seattle and asked a guy what he did for a living. 'Stop-motion animation,' he said. 'No way – I recently saw this video by Fleet Foxes!' I went on about how amazing it was... and he said, 'Thanks, I made it.' We've been really good friends ever since.”
