Fleet Foxes Announce Debut Album
Photo by Nilina Mason-Campbell
Hot on the heels of their recent, Best New Music'd Sun Giant EP, Seattle's Fleet Foxes have announced the details of their debut LP. The self-titled affair (known for a time as Ragged Wood, though now officially eponymous) sports 11 tracks from the up-and-comers, including the recently Forkcasted (and totally gorgeous) "White Winter Hymnal". The Phil Ek-produced set is due June 3 from Sub Pop.
Oh, and Sun Giant, which has been available exclusively through Sub Pop's website since late February, arrives in stores April 8.
The Foxes recently launched a tour alongside another pack of Pac Northwesterners: Blitzen Trapper. Once the two are done stalking North America in late April, Fleet Foxes hit Sasquatch! and the Pitchfork Music Festival this summer.
