FLEET FOXES FIRST COLLECTION 2006-2009 OUT TODAY

First Collection 2006 – 2009 is out today in the US via Sub Pop Records and on Nonesuch in the rest of the world. The special edition features content spanning the early days of Fleet Foxes’ career, including the self-titled full-length debut album on 12” vinyl, as well as the Sun Giant EP on 10” vinyl and the first vinyl releases of both the very limited-edition, previously only self-released The Fleet Foxes EP on 10” and B-sides & Rarities on 10”. In addition to its musical offerings, the release features a thirty-two-page booklet including show flyers, lyrics, and artwork from the period. The special edition will also be released on CD and on all digital platforms. Leading up to today's release, the band shared "Icicle Tusk," featured on their The Fleet Foxes EP, and "Isles," from B-Sides and Rarities. Fleet Foxes’ debut album made a tremendous impact on the international musical scene, topping numerous “best of” lists, including Rolling Stone’s 100 Best Albums of the 2000’s and Pitchfork’s 50 Best Albums of 2008, and earned the band Uncut’s inaugural Music Award Prize. Fleet Foxes is certified Gold in North America and Platinum in both the UK and Australia. Watch the trailer for the special edition featuring archival footage HERE. "The band's country, folk and West Coast pop songs and storyteller lyrics—which acted like a close-harmony love letter in musical form to a pastoral American idyll that possibly never existed—arrived as if from another era, triggering nostalgic swoons in critics and end-of-year top spots." - The Sunday Times "Must-Have Reissue" "A decade on it's fascinating to observe the evolution of their sound. That first LP sounded other-worldly at the time. It sounded like nothing else...The sound of the Fleet Foxes blossomed over a short period. It wasn't an accident. They got there by embracing timelessness." - Uncut "Full sonic prestidigitation, that wonder of voices magnified by reverb, would be next." -Mojo's "Vinyl Package of the Month" "The music is invariably wonderful...their pristine eponymous debut remains unimpeachable 10 years on." - Record Collection ****
