I've been enjoying all the songs I've heard from them too. :)
Beautiful music - thank you Fleet Foxes!
Hi Melbourne Dreaming, we're not sure which promo you're referring to, possibly it could be the promo for our latest Untidy Desk concert by Jinja Safari. We used their song 'Peter Pan' for the promo: http://abcdigmusic.net.au/features/untidy-desk-jinja-safari
If not, let us know what the promo says and we'll investigate further. Thanks for listening!
Hi, I'm trying to find out what the music used on the current Dig Music promo is - it sounds like Fleet Foxes but I don't recognise the song!
Can anyone help?? (Shazam failed....)
I read about Fleet Foxes a few months ago and without having heard them bought "Helplessness Blues" and thought I recognised the track this morning - I'm a 60's teenager into young adult and now in my 60's - this group reminded me immediately of America, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, and other similar - listening to Dig much more from now
