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.

    Donnacha Dennehy’s Land of Winter is out now. The piece, performed by the composer's longtime collaborators Alarm Will Sound and conductor Alan Pierson, explores the subtleties of Ireland’s seasons via twelve connected sections representing the months of the year. "It is the varying quality of light that truly demarcates the seasons," Dennehy says, "from the shorter days of grey or piercing light in the winter to the warmer but mercurial light of summer days that at solstice stretch almost to midnight. I like this play between light and time, and it is the major inspiration behind the piece." You can watch a video for “July" here.
