Fleet Foxes - A Very Lonely Solstice

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.

'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 the performance 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.
