FLEET FOXES UNVEIL VIDEO FOR ‘FOOL’S ERRAND

NEW ALBUM CRACK-UP OUT JUNE 16, 2017 VIA NONESUCH RECORDS

 

Fleet Foxes have unveiled a music video for the second track released from their highly anticipated new album Crack-Up due June 16 via Nonesuch Records.  The video for ‘Fool’s Errand’ was directed by Sean Pecknold with art direction by Adi Goodrich and produced by Society.

Sean Pecknold noted, “‘Fool’s Errand’ couldn’t have been shot on anything but 35mm film.  The timeline was tight, but shooting on film made us focus and shoot only what we absolutely needed for the edit.  There is still nothing like the look of film and it matches the sonic quality of the Foxes music quite well.”

Fleet Foxes will begin an extensive international tour later this month, beginning with a select dates in the Pacific Northwest and routing throughout the US and Europe.  Full schedule listed below.


Fleet Foxes previously released a one minute 37 second album teaser featuring footage shot during the band’s recent Seattle rehearsals paired with snippets from select album tracks including ‘Third of May / Ōdaigahara’. Crack-Up comes six years after the 2011 release of Helplessness Blues and nearly a decade since the band’s 2008 self-titled debut.

‘Likely to be the most remarkable album you will hear this year… the return of one of the most original bands of this century.’ – The Times

‘The band shakes off its penchant for baroque arrangements for a string of two- and three-part epics with sudden shifts in tone, while singer Robin Pecknold peppers personal reflection with musings on beautiful mountains and cryptozoological wonders like nymphs and monsters. It looks heavy on paper, but in headphones, Crack-Up is light as a warm afternoon breeze.’ – Vulture

‘It sounds like this album is gonna be worth the wait.’ – Brooklyn Vegan

‘Fleet Foxes show that they can open themselves to an expanding world without losing themselves in the process.’ – Pitchfork

‘Astonishing. Crack-Up may be the most anticipated release of the year, a welcome return. Ambitious, mature, meticulous.’ – Uncut
