Fans have also been waiting just as long for a new album from the Seattle-based indie folk band. Marking Fleet Foxes’ third full-length effort, Crack-Up is due out June 16 on Nonesuch Records.

The group unveiled the lead single, “Third Of May / Odaigahara,” last month. Brooklyn Vegan proclaims, “It sounds like this album is gonna be worth the wait.” Paste says, “The track, in typical Foxes fashion, begins as a warm and inviting acoustic guitar- and piano-driven jaunt before taking a turn into expansive, even psychedelic territory.”

Fleet Foxes’ grand return to the stage kicks off May 15 in Missoula, Mont., with a show at The Wilma. The additions to the tour include gigs in the Southwest, Southern California and Midwest. Plus, the band has added a run of gigs in Europe in November.
