Heralded as atmospheric, ambitious and meticulous — Seattle folk ensemble Fleet Foxes returns to our shores this January following what some might call the most anticipated release of year.

It's taken some six years for the band to carefully craft their third full-length album, Crack-Up, but it's been worth the wait for the five-piece, selling out shows across the first leg of their world tour.

Breathing fresh air into the music scene with their self-titled 2008 debut album, the band gained world-wide recognition as smart, ethereal creators — following up the unprecedented success with their 2011 offering Helplessness Blues.

Renowned for spell-binding stage performances, critics across the board have praised Crack-Up as the band's most melodic and intimate offering yet, and amidst a landscape of bubble-gum artists, we can't wait to experience what one has called "the return of one of the most original bands of the century." Support from Tiny Ruins.
