Crack-Up, Fleet Foxes' long-awaited and highly anticipated third album, is out now. "Rewarding, involving, and meticulous," says the AP, "Crack-Up has been well worth the wait." "Likely to be the most remarkable album you will hear this year," exclaims the Times (UK). "The return of one of the most original bands of this century." Pitchfork calls it "their most complex and compelling album to date." Capping off an eventful week that included a taping of PBS's Live from the Artists Den—you can watch "Third of May / Ōdaigahara" from the taping here—Fleet Foxes performs on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight and on CBS This Morning on Saturday. The band will tour for much of the year, including two just-announced UK dates.

Fleet Foxes' new album, Crack-Up, is out today and has been met with great critical acclaim. This is the band's third full-length album and first release in six years. "Rewarding, involving, and meticulous," says the AP, "Crack-Up has been well worth the wait." "Likely to be the most remarkable album you will hear this year," exclaims the Times of London. "The return of one of the most original bands of this century." The New York Times calls it "a defiant artistic statement, an album that dares to feel important." Pitchfork says it's the band's "most complex and compelling album to date." Capping off an eventful week that included a taping of PBS's Live from the Artists Den—you can watch "Third of May / Ōdaigahara" from the taping below—Fleet Foxes will perform on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight, June 16, and on CBS This Morning tomorrow, June 17.

To pick up a copy of Crack-Up, head to your local record shop, iTunes, Amazon, and the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a download of the complete album at checkout. The album can also be heard on Apple Music and Spotify.

Fleet Foxes recently kicked off a massive international tour with a series of intimate shows in the Pacific Northwest. The band was warmly welcomed back to the stage by what Seattle Weekly described as "a rapt, adoring crowd." The Seattle Times noted of their return, "It's almost unheard of for a band to disappear for this long, and then come back as big as ever." The following week the band opened this year's Vivid Live festival with four sold out nights at the Sydney Opera House, described by the Australian as "a spellbinding display of Fleet Foxes' originality and vocal and instrumental dexterity."

The band has just announced two UK shows, at Manchester's O2 Apollo on November 23 and London's O2 Brixton Academy on November 26. These performances will be the band's first UK headline shows in six years. Tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, June 21. These dates are in addition to the previously announced European shows in June and July (including a headline slot at this year's Latitude Festival on July 16) and November and December.

    The Way Out of Easy, the new album from guitarist Jeff Parker and his ETA IVtet—saxophonist Josh Johnson, bassist Anna Butterss, and drummer Jay Bellerose—is now available on all streaming platforms. Upon the album's physical release last month, it debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Current Contemporary Jazz Albums chart, and Pitchfork named it Best New Music, saying: "The vibe is laid-back, but it rewards rapt attention ... This exceptional record fixes your attention on the present moment."

    The twenty-seven disc box set Steve Reich Collected Works is due March 14, 2025, on Nonesuch. It features music recorded during the composer's forty years on the label—six decades of his compositions, including first recordings of his two latest works, Jacob’s Ladder and Traveler’s Prayer—plus two extensive booklets with new essays by Robert Hurwitz, Michael Tilson Thomas, Russell Hartenberger, Judith Sherman, and Nico Muhly, and a comprehensive listener’s guide by Timo Andres. Nonesuch made its first record with Steve Reich in 1985; he was signed exclusively to the label that year. Collected Works includes twenty-four discs of Nonesuch recordings and three from other labels.
