The primary members include Robin Pecknold (vocals, guitar) and Skyler Skjelset (guitar, mandolin), whose collaborative songwriting and intricate instrumentation play a significant role in the band's distinctive sound. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2008, has been highly influential in the indie folk genre, with its use of reverb-laden vocal harmonies and traditional folk themes.
