Fleet Foxes will return June 16th with Crack-Up, the follow-up to 2011's Helplessness Blues. The band announced the album on Tuesday and released "Third of May/Ōdaigahara," which shows that their harmony-heavy folk rock remains intact. "Third of May/Ōdaigahara" is an ambitious composition with string orchestration, multiple voices rising in unison and marked shifts from loud to quiet. At several points during the nearly nine-minute song, the pounding piano falls to leave a lone singer, who sounds fragile and isolated. The band roars back to full volume, but in the final minutes of the song are voiceless and beat-less – just a soothing wash of strings. www.rollingstone.com/music/news/fleet-foxes-announce-new-record-crack-up-us-tour-w470737 |

I loved the Fleet Foxes material so far - I'm definitely looking forward to this.

Yes. Can't wait. 'Mykonos' is literally one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life.

second album was disappointing, not bad, but didn't compare to their debut some of my favourites: Your Protector White Winter Hymnal - of course a Birdie cover  Mykonos Blue Ridge Mountains |
