MP3: Fleet Foxes – “Blue Spotted Tail” (Live On BBC 6)

Evan Kaloudis — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:00:48 +0000

Here we go, some new Fleet Foxes material that Robin has promised us. It’s being played solo here and it has a working title but I would expect it to be on their second LP, which Robin has said will probably be out in early 2010.

Fleet Foxes are playing Glastonbury today. If you live in the UK, you may be able to stream their performance on the BBC 6 site.

Fleet Foxes maybe playing new songs on tour.

Yep, direct from Robin Pecknold’s Twitter. Hopefully this isn’t an April Fool’s joke, as even as lasting as the band’s debut and EP are, we obviously want more material from the Foxes.

Stay tuned for future updates.

MP3: White Antelope (Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes) – It Ain’t Me Babe (Bob Dylan cover)

Evan Kaloudis — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:15:08 +0000

If you haven’t heard of White Antelope, it’s time to get acquainted. It appears that the song has been pulled from the Myspace page but it was ripped from the page before it was deleted. It’s really quite incredible, vocal harmonies and all.

Video: Fleet Foxes – Mykonos

Evan Kaloudis — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 23:31:55 +0000

Quite an interesting animated, origami-style video. “Mykonos”, off of Sun Giant EP is surely my favorite song of theirs, although the video for “White Winter Hymnal” off of the self-titled LP is miles better. Give both a shot.

Possible Fleet Foxes side project: White Antelope

Evan Kaloudis — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 01:07:23 +0000

Hmm, what do we have here? Two Fleet Foxes style tracks, a mere 150 friends, Fleet Foxes as the top friend, the same profile background as Fleet Foxes, and a picture of frontman Robin Pecknold with short hair? It appears to be Robin Pecknold’s solo project.

Let’s take a look at the tracks. First is “False Knight on the Road”. Apparently it appeared as the b-side to the Mykonos 7″. What’s more interesting is the metadata pulled from the second track, titled “Guitar Duet”. Oddly, once dragged into iTunes it’s revealed to be titled something different, “Magic Rings”. The metadata also reveals:

Artist: White Antelope
Album: White Antelope
Track #: 14 of 14

Of course the tagging could be random but regardless; could Robin Pecknold be releasing a solo album this year under the moniker White Antelope?

Here are MP3s of the tracks for anyone interested (retagged if you were curious):

White Antelope – False Knight on the Road
White Antelope – Guitar Duet (aka Magic Rings)

Video: Fleet Foxes – “Silver City” (Live at Grand Ballroom, NYC)

Brent Koepp — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 22:28:34 +0000

Fleet Foxes played two sold out dates back to back at the Grand Ballroom in New York. Fans were in for a treat as they played some new songs. Here’s a video for a new song titled “Silver City”:

The video and audio were recorded separately so the end result is pretty clear. But hopefully we’ll hear a studio version of this track pretty soon.

Wilco, Fleet Foxes offer fans incentive to vote

Sean Highkin — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 23:37:05 +0000

As if there weren’t already enough reasons to vote in the November 4 presidential election, Wilco is offering a free MP3 download to fans who pledge to cast their ballot. Recorded live on August 23 at Bend, Oregon’s Les Schwab Amphitheater, Wilco’s cover of the Bob Dylan/Band Basement Tapes classic “I Shall Be Released” finds them joined onstage by tour-mates Fleet Foxes, who lend spectacular vocal harmonies to the performance.

The MP3 is available on WilcoWorld, but in order to get it, you have to pledge that you will vote. And really, if you’re 18 and a citizen of the US, you have no excuse not to vote anyway. This election is too important.
