Fleet Foxes by Shervin Lainez
Fleet Foxes first released Shore to coincide with the autumnal equinox.
Robin Pecknold has gone back to one of last year’s highest acclaimed releases with a video for I’m Not My Season, recorded at St. Ann & The Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn during last month’s A Very Lonely Solstice livestreamed gig.
Shore is getting a physical release on February 5th, the first Fleet Foxes record on those formats since 2017’s Crack-Up; “Not that the mutual protagonists would even acknowledge it, but there were barely two months between the release of this, Fleet Foxes third album, and the notching of a similar milestone for their former drummer Josh Tillman – AKA Father John Misty – with Pure Comedy,” our review opens.
“The specifics of Tillman’s departure are vague, but it coincided roughly with the beginning of a Foxes hiatus which had many, including founder member and Crack-Up’s co-producer Skye Skjelset, believing it was more likely to be permanent than not.”
