Fleet Foxes have announced a special Black Friday release edition 10″ EP available exclusively at independent record stores starting on Record Store Day’s Black Friday, November 24th, 2017. The EP features four songs, thoughtfully selected from a WFUV session recorded at the historic Electric Lady Studio in New York on June 13th, 2017, days before the band’s new album, “Crack-Up”, was released.
Side A of the vinyl includes “Cassius,-“ and “- “Naiads, Cassadies” while Side B includes “Mearcstapa” and “On Another Ocean (January / June).” Each pair is recorded and cut as one long track to reflect the intentional fluidity between these songs, on both the album and in live performance. In addition to the announcement, Fleet Foxes have released a Classic Album Sunday Q&A which premiered via Record Store Day,
