On a fleeting visit to the UK, venerable folksters Fleet Foxes appeared on Later With Jools Holland and you can watch their performance of ‘Grown Ocean,’ (the closing track from their forthcoming album Helplessness Blues), above. Wistfully conjuring up dream like imagery, Robin Pecknold’s smooth, weathered voice effortlessly holds your attention while it soars over the lively instrumental arrangements and hopeful harmonies.
Helplessness Blues is due out on 2 May via Bella Union.
