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.

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.

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.

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)
