Hot Sale Fleet Foxes – Very Lonely Solstice

Description

Robin Pecknold brings light to the bleakest of winters with Fleet Foxes’ ‘A Very Lonely Solstice,’ a 13-track career spanning collection recorded in December 2020, at Brooklyn, NY’s St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church. Now being released for the first time on vinyl, CD and digital formats, ‘A Very Lonely Solstice’ captures a poignant moment in time. The recording was originally broadcasted as a live-stream event on the winter solstice of 2020, just days after New York declared a state of emergency tightening restrictions again in response to increasing COVID-19 cases. Pecknold describes the set as “”me by myself on the longest night of the year… honoring the loneliness of 2020 with a nylon string and some songs new and old.”” Fans worldwide tuned in while quarantined at home, finding solace and a sense of community in a period of extreme isolation. Much of ‘A Very Lonely Solstice’ showcases a solo focus on Pecknold who offers up acoustic arrangements of fan-favorite songs spanning Fleet Foxes’ catalog. Selections cover all four of the band’s studio albums, including their 2008 self-titled debut album (“”Tiger Mountain Peasant Song””) to 2011’s Helplessness Blues (“”Blue Spotted Tail””) and 2017’s Crack-Up (“”If You Need To, Keep Time On Me””), all the way to their latest release, Shore. Resistance Revival Chorus joins Pecknold on Shore tracks “”Wading In Waist-High Water”” and “”Can I Believe You.”” Also featured: a cover of Nina Simone’s “”In The Morning”” and a rearrangement of the traditional “”Silver Dagger.””
