The Seattle, Washington group took the world by storm in 2008 with their acclaimed self-titled debut album, and Jardine was among the celebrity fans hailing the band as the next big thing.

He invited the group to visit him at his California recording studio - and now Jardine is hoping to secure the Fleet Foxes as guests on his upcoming album A Postcard From California.

He says, "They're awesome. They kind of have the Beach Boys vibe, too - very beautiful harmonies."

And Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold is very fond of his new pal, telling Pitchfork.com, "He was amazing, a really sweet guy."

Jardine's new album will feature guest spots from former bandmate Brian Wilson and actor John Stamos.

Rolling Stone magazine reports the album will also feature A California Saga - a lost track the Beach Boys star recorded with Neil Young, David Crosby and Stephen Stills.
