‘Songs soon’ is the latest message from Robin Pecknold as Fleet Foxes gear up for their first US gig in six years.
Pecknold gave the most recent update on Instagram to coincide with the band nailing down a headline appearance at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island this coming July to go with other European outings which include a date with Bilbao BBK.
Pecknold has been a regular on social media since the return of Fleet Foxes first became apparent last year – guitarist Christian Wargo telling Distinct that, ‘none of us really knew it was coming, but it’s happening’ – but may have been a little too forthcoming in December 2016 when he appeared to reveal the upcoming third studio album will be entitled Ylajili via a picture of the band’s iTunes catalogue in a since-deleted Instagram post.
