    I think I found the best live performance of The Shrine/An Argument

    Skye completely ate his guitar parts! Also, is there new lyrics at the end of this version?!

    Is anyone else disappointed itā€™s taking this long for new music?

    Iā€™m sincerely happy for those enjoying the Robin solo tour right now. However I canā€™t help but feel disappointed that all heā€™s done in the past couple years is tour either with FF or solo. This is especially since Shore wasnā€™t exactly a full-fledged FF album, so really weā€™re closing in on 8 years since the last true FF release.

    Itā€™s also disappointing that unlike older acts where itā€™s par for the course that they release less and less new music as the years go by, heā€™s not yet 40 and is still taking this long between albums. It feels like heā€™s following the Tool playbook right now :-(

    Do you remember where you were when Third of May / Odaigahara dropped?

    I was at the library studying during my final semester of college. I checked r/indieheads on my laptop and saw "[FRESH] Fleet Foxes" and nearly screamed out of excitement. At that point it had been about 6 years since the last album and the wait for new music was getting excruciating lol. I was trying my best not to cry right there in the middle of the library

    I'm new to the band, help me out!

    Hello foxes (or whatever the fans of the band are named). This year I have been mostly stuck in my apartment working on my computer, and was working as a bartender before that. Even if I'm passionate about filmmaking (lots of computer work) and bartending, another one of my passions is hiking, traveling, nature etc. but I let that go a whole lot for the past 2-3 years.

    I fell on the song Helplessness Blues by the band about 2 months ago. The song is so powerful it awakened that passion up in me. The chorus made me have this big edited video in my mind of all the beautiful places I would love to go to, explore, climb and eat sandwhiches. And I listen to this song now very often. I have listened to about half the album of Helplessness Blues, it was enjoyable but nothing got me ticking as much or even close to the album's title track.

    This has probably been asked before but considering the "Hiking" aspect and the song "Helplessness Blues" which I love without not liking as much its album, do you, fans of the band, have recommendations for me or somewhere to start?

    canā€™t stop listening ā€˜a very lonely solsticeā€™

    hi all, iā€™m new to this subreddit. iā€™ve known fleet foxes for quite a while, but it always takes me some time to fully get into an artist. on the other hand, iā€™m one of those (yes, one of thoseā€¦) diehard joanna newsom fans. i watched the video of robin and joanna playing blue spotted tail last year, and i kept it in my mind for some time. how beautifully their voices harmonize, somewhat sublime.

    then yesterday i decided to play this album on apple music and i kept in on repeat as if it was Ys-live or something. pure acoustic magic. however i just canā€™t switch the music now. itā€™s been 16 hours and i need help!

    anyway, a new subscriber here. iā€™ll wander through other albums sooner or later.

    Robin Pecknold Supremacy Thalia Hall, Chicago 11/20/2024

    I sat on the footage for awhile in a bliss state. After the show in the dark, to my uncomprehension Robin walked to the center stage edge and off of it to a riser/cargo box to sign a book of the brothers next to me.

    Does ā€œWading in Waist High Waterā€ go over every song in Helplessness Blues/ST Album?

    Or is it focusing on miscellaneous tracks throughout every albums/EP? Curious because HP is one of my favorite albums and want some insight into the tracks, though Iā€™ll be buying it whether it has it or not.

    Robin solo setlist variance

    Iā€™m going to both LA showsā€¦ does it seem realistic that heā€™s going to play different setlists for fans attending both nights? I am so excited no matter what he does, cuz Robin is my absolute favorite living singer/songwriter!!!!

    Thalia Hall 11/20

    Anyone know what song Robin played before ā€œHelplessness Bluesā€ last night? Setlist.fm says ā€œBlues Run the Gameā€ but that wasnā€™t it..

    I think it might have been ā€œThe Dolphinsā€ by Fred Neil based on other recent setlists and the fact he definitely used the 12 string for it. Thanks in advance!

    I Let You

    I heard robin play i let you for the first time last night and i recognized the guitar part from another FF song - i think itā€™s tagged onto the end or beginning of another song, really distorted and recorded to a tape thatā€™s speeding up and slowing down ā€¦ anybody know what song im thinking of???

    Robin Solo Show - Courtyard Cover

    Does anybody know/ can someone going to the solo show scream at father Robin and ask what tuning he uses on guitar for his cover of "Courtyard" by Bobbie Gentry? It's stunning and I saw on his IG story. Thank you love you all

    Is Helplessness Blues known as a concept album?

    I think, at least in my perspective, the album follows a very focused story and each song seems almost like a chapter to this narrative. A protagonist, possibly a former marine, wanting to reunite with his former love and escape urban life to the rural Eden of Innisfree.
