Fleet Foxes news: "Helplessness Blues" title track and USA/UK/Euro tour dates ...
"Helplessness Blues" by Fleet Foxes (download here)
Seattle concertgoers might remember "Helplessness Blues" from when Fleet Foxes frontman and former Lake Washington High School student* Robin Pecknold performed it solo last year, opening for Joanna Newsom at the Moore Theatre. Now we finally have an mp3 for the propulsive pop song, made available today by Sub Pop.
The local label will release Fleet Foxes' sophomore album May 3, also called "Helplessness Blues." A tour is scheduled, and will land in Seattle at the Moore the same day the album comes out (dates below).
Also notable in Sub Pop's press release, a new member of the band: Morgan Henderson, formerly of Blood Brothers and currently the bassist/guitarist/vocalist in Past Lives, one of Seattle's most innovative and exciting rock groups. Last time I interviewed Henderson, he had just come from recording sounds of waves lapping the shore.
