ACCLAIM FOR SHORE: “Shore looks to the world and realizes there is already enough, as if staring into a darkness and responding with beauty, acceptance, and light." - PITCHFORK (BEST NEW MUSIC) "A gorgeous folk-rock song cycle about life, death, and art, full of deep mourning and glimmers of relief on the other side. Track for track, Shore is the most immediately rewarding Fleet Foxes record since their brilliant 2008 debut." - ROLLING STONE (⅘ STARS) “You soothe our worried minds and fraying souls with some gorgeous-as-fuck artisanal splendor." - ROLLING STONE (⅘ STARS) "When you’ve got a song on your album called “Quiet Air/Gioia,” and it’s every bit as pretentious as that title suggests and yet in no way sucks, you’ve done your artistic betters proud." - ROLLING STONE (⅘ STARS) "The gorgeous record found tonal balance amid the chaos of recent months, when the project suddenly seemed inconsequential to its creators and, therefore, more like a refuge. Though still primarily the creation of the band’s front man, Robin Pecknold, “Shore” is a collective effort that includes many contributors, and its glistening arrangements are reflective of the unburdening that collaboration fosters. " THE NEW YORKER "A warm blanket of an album from modern folk-rock royalty.” USA TODAY "The album is uniformly gorgeous, sometimes overwhelmingly so when taken in all at once...Every now and then there’s a moment of brightness, an actual good thing, that alleviates the darkness of the wretched year that is 2020. This is one of those good things." - STEREOGUM "Fleet Foxes made the perfect album for this moment." - VULTURE "Filled with epic, sweeping songs."- ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY "These 15 tracks are the work of an artist taking in everything dark and corrupt about this year, and choosing to craft an artifact of hope." - UPROXX "There are lush soundscapes, fluttery brass cacophonies and subdividing rhythms...there is an acknowledgment of the past, but in a way that throws into sharp relief the potential that lies ahead and the legacy that is carried into the future" - ASSOCIATED PRESS "Altogether grand, sobering, and inspiring, Shore flows much like Fleet Foxes’ everlasting early work.- CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND "Shore is their most collaborative, most joyous album, and also one that transcends what Pecknold called the agrarian fantasies of their early days for an earnest plea to hear the call of the wild." THE RINGER "Robin remains an extremely gifted songwriter, and these songs find him weaving in deceptively simple arrangements and some of the most instantly-satisfying melodies he's written yet." - BROOKLYN VEGAN "In a year that’s felt like a long winter, Shore has brought a meditative sense of acceptance." SPIN "Both vibrant and vital." UNDER THE RADAR "Their most gorgeous full-length yet." NOISEY "An absolute tour de force of rich melodies, heavenly hooks, luxurious production and songs packed to the brim with key/tempo/mood shifts that keep you constantly on your toes, it’s one of the most formidable albums we’ve heard this year, full stop." - GUITAR WORLD
