Fleet Floxes

Add Date: July 4

Artist: Fleet Foxes

Album: Crack-Up

Label: Nonesuch

Genre: Folk rock, psychedelia

Comments: Fleet Foxes first made waves among fans of folk (and just general fans of music) with their amazing debut EP Sun Giant and follow-up self-titled LP, before their sophomore record Helplessness Blues was nominated for the Best Folk Album at the 2012 Grammys. With frontman Robin Pecknold returning from school at the University of Columbia, Fleet Foxes are set to release their third full-length LP, Crack-Up. A set of sweeping landscapes created by the now-veterans of folk, the record is sure to do more than please long-term fans of the group, and deserves a few radio plays as well.

Recommended Tracks: 2, 3, 9, 10
