Fleet Foxes
Robin Pecknold, Casey Wescott and Joshua Tillman
8.9 average
As you already know, the beardy goodness of the Fleet Foxes rests firmly on the shoulders maxillae of frontman Robin Pecknold, keyboardist Casey Wescott and drummer Joshua Tillman.
Pecknold’s timbre reminds me of a beardy from my old stomping grounds. And the fluidity with which the band plays is just perfect for countless occasions. But this is no music blog. These guys have damn svelt beards to write about!
This unified front of Fleet Foxes has a beardosity of incredible proportions. They shift keratin coverage duties from member to member depending on their environment — like a group some kind of scifi beard chameleons. They’ve been documented with big beards, short beards, stubble and more on two, three and four band members just via Flickr. My suspicion is that Fleet Foxes have a myriad of barbarous combinations too exhausting to count. As a whole, they are to beardage what Bruce Lee was to martial arts.
That’s not to say Fleet Foxes are perfect. They aren’t. Scraggly and, some might claim, inconsistent, there are some flaws.
Rather than focus on inconsistency, I say note the variety. Like voices harmonizing in perfect pitch with the universe, these Cascadian beards will stop you in your tracks. Each hue a tone, each length a volume and every follicle the physical manifestation of individual wooly angel choir members.
And for the win: they follow in the tradition of the highly regarded lumberjack beard oft found in the Pacific Northwest.

The Black Keys Dress-Up Kit
Picking a costume for Halloween is tough. Thankfully, there is an opportunity to dress like your favorite Ohio blues duo, The Black Keys. Wear the beard for Dan Auerbach, the glasses for that bald-faced drummer guy.
If you already have a beard, you can strap this one on and create a double beard all the way (what does it mean?).
