Fleet Foxes have announced a special-edition 7” to be released on Record Store Day, April 21, 2018. The A-side features a special recording of the title track to their 2017 album Crack-Up, performed with renowned Icelandic women’s choir Graduale Nobli at Harpa Concert Hall in Reykjavik, just before the band headlined Iceland Airwaves last year. Consequence of Sound produced a video of the stunning performance, directed by Eilífur Örn Þrastarson, with creative direction by Kevin McMahon, viewable here. On the B-side is an intimate version of “In The Morning” recorded live at the 2017 Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland.
Fleet Foxes’ extensive tour is underway and features upcoming festival plays at Coachella, Boston Calling, and Shaky Knees, as well as two nights at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the first of which has sold out; tickets are still available for the second. Amen Dunes, the indie rock project whose recently released track “Blue Rose” was just named Best New Track by Pitchfork, will join Fleet Foxes for select dates. The full itinerary is below with newly added dates in bold.
“On Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl, Robin Pecknold was as powerful as any performer who’s ever played the Bowl’s stage. He was a flash of folk and light and feeling. He was gentleness masked in fury, or maybe the other way around. Whichever it is, he sure as hell won’t say.” - Uproxx
“Triumphant Return… Despite the large venue, Pecknold’s vocals were able to reach those in the far back, highlighted by the band’s impressive musicianship… It all coalesced to create a rich, ethereal setting.” - Billboard
“The culmination of a two-hour high-wire act full of intricate, often breathtaking music. Judging by the flushed, smiling faces of the faithful as they file questly out, one that’s been worth the six-year wait.”
- Q Magazine
"The show felt like it had disregarded the laws of physics, with each perfect transition between songs threading time together, making you feel like there was no such thing as an end." - Seattle Weekly
"They brought with them everything fans love about Fleet Foxes: layered harmonies shepherded by Robin Pecknold's still-incredible voice, pastoral lyrics, and an almost religious-seeming intensity that made the Crystal feel like a cathedral." - Portland Mercury
"Bigger and better after hiatus." - Washington Post
"Tuesday night's show showcased the immense talent of everyone involved in the group for a truly engaging live experience." - New York Daily News
"The six-year wait seemed almost worth it for the chance to spend a short while in the company of Pecknold once again." - Consequence of Sound
"Pecknold’s ultra-pure voice and timeless, picturesque lyrics soared through the hall all night, raising goosebumps at the peak moments in beloved “oldies” like “Ragged Wood,” “He Doesn’t Know Why,” “Helplessness Blues” and especially “Mykonos.” - Las Vegas Weekly
