Fleet Foxes, whose long-awaited and highly anticipated third album, Crack-Up, was released last week, set off on their European tour this weekend, performing at L'Aéronef in Lille, France, tonight, and Groene Heuvels in Beuningen, Netherlands, as part of the Down the Rabbit Hole festival, on Saturday. The band plays a set at the sold-out Festsaal Kreuzberg in Berlin on Sunday.

Crack-Up has been met with great critical acclaim. "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," while Pitchfork says it's the band's "most complex and compelling album to date." Uncut calls Crack-Up “astonishing.” “Ambitious, mature, meticulous … A recipe for total entertainment forever.”

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.
