fleet foxes Tour and Music News

It’s taken from Fleet Foxes’ recent album Shore.

Like Can I Believe You before it, Sean Pecknold has directed the video for his brother Robin’s latest Fleet Foxes single Sunblind.

Fleet Foxes have shared visuals for Can I Believe You, taken from their fourth album Shore which got a quick release last month to coincide with the autumnal equinox.

Fleet Foxes are putting out a new album today, with the autumnal equinox very much in mind.

Robin Pecknold used his Vote Ready livestream set to debut a new Fleet Foxes song last Friday.

It’s the summer Bank Holiday in the UK today, and with mighty fine weather greeting it for once here we’ve got part one of a playlist which might just add to the soundtrack for today’s activities.

50 of the best tracks to have been featured on Live4ever during the past decade have been picked out, this first installment featuring the likes of Alabama Shakes, Shame, Arctic Monkeys, Skepta and PJ Harvey.

Check out the videos below, and stay tuned for 25-1 a little later today.

It’s almost a decade since Fleet Foxes’ landmark set at a hushed but heaving Glastonbury.

Acknowledging his terror of large crowds, to settle his nerves main Fox Robin Pecknold kidded along with the massed banks of onlookers by giving them a brief rendition of George Michael’s Freedom while he and the rest of the band won countless new friends with pin-drop renditions of White Winter Hymnal, Sun It Rises and Oliver James.

The ensuing years haven’t always been kind to them; a period of turmoil partially created by the unexpected success of their eponymous first album encompassed the departure of drummer Josh Tillman and a lengthy hiatus following the release of its follow up, the knotty and more abstract Helplessness Blues.

Both that and 2017’s Crack Up were structurally bound up in one man’s thoughts, artisan vessels of doubt with occasional flecks of dazzling relief. This makes the exercise of returning to the band’s origins both timely and fascinating, with this box-set comprehensively documenting their early recordings.

Isles, originally the b-side of the 2008 7” single release of the delightful White Winter Hymnal, has been shared by Fleet Foxes as a taste of what to expect from their First Collection 2006–2009 album.

A decade on from their magnificent self-titled debut album, Fleet Foxes will reflect on that first stage of their career through a compilation entitled First Collection 2006–2009 to be released on November 9th.

Fleet Foxes have been in the California desert recording a short film for I Am All That I Need/Arroyo Seco/Thumbprint Scar – the opening suite from last year’s Crack-Up album.

Fleet Foxes have increased the lifespan of last year’s Crack-Up album with an official video for If You Need To, Keep Time On Me – directed by Ryan Heffington.
