Contrary to popular belief, and what your ears may tell you, the songs posted on this blog were not recorded by Fleet Foxes, but rather one dude who impersonates Fleet Foxes using overdubbing and lots of reverb.

Garet Camella is a midwest-born, LA-based solo artist and multi-instrumentalist.

After nearly a decade writing and touring in indie rock band Indigo Wild—playing stages alongside Catfish and the Bottlemen, Bad Suns, and Margot & The Nuclear So And So's, landing slots on Audiotree and festivals next to Tame Impala and The Black Keys—Garet returns to where it all started: writing solo, producing from scratch, and collaborating with dear friends along the way.

His 2024 full-length Mont Michel Archives is a time capsule opened—a raw and fragmented 14-track collection of old demos, unfinished thoughts, and almost-lost ideas, finally given space to breathe. Stand out track Blinders is a laid back, shimmery bop that finds itself somewhere between The Shins, Coconut Records, and The Beths. Its splashy drums, breezy guitar licks, and candid lyrics add up to a sun-faded anthem about moving on. Additionally, Camella’s covers of Youth Lagoon's 17 and Bob Dylan's It Ain’t Me Babe offer intimate, late-night reinterpretations from his bedroom studio.

Based in Los Angeles since Spring of 2025, Camella (who documented the whole trip via a diy travel vlog) brings a sense of rediscovery with him. His sound is nostalgic, reflective, layered, and subtly anthemic, which feels right at home in a city built on reinvention. With a forthcoming single and a full EP on the way, Camella is stepping into the LA scene as a freshman, but with his sights set on varsity.
