Fleet Foxes – Crack-Up
Released June 16th, 2017
After frontman Robin Pecknold’s stint as a student at Columbia University, Fleet Foxes are back six years later to release their third full-length, Crack-Up. There are slightly different textures here (many more songs with abrupt shifts in sound, more synthesized sounds, etc.) but nothing too unfamiliar. While simultaneously Fleet Foxes’ music has grown increasingly more complex and less crowd-pleasing. Crack-Up may not be a great leap forward for broadening their fan base, but does that really matter?
