Seattle folk outfit Fleet Foxes’ second album, Helplessness Blues (out May 3), is one of the most anticipated releases of 2011 — and now we have our first taste of the LP. Download its title track below!

So, how does it sound? Exactly like Fleet Foxes — moody acoustic guitars, reverb-y lead riffs, frontman Robin Pecknold’s mountain-high vocals, and pastoral lyrics about living the simple life, farming an orchard, and working ’til you’re sore.
