Fleet Foxes are an American indie folk band formed in Seattle, Washington in 2006. The band is led by singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold, whose evocative vocals and harmonies define the group's distinctive sound, characterized by lush harmonies, baroque pop influences, and poetic lyrics. Fleet Foxes quickly garnered critical acclaim with their eponymous debut album released in 2008, which included hits such as "White Winter Hymnal" and "Blue Ridge Mountains," setting the groundwork for their soothing, harmony-rich brand of folk music.

As they continued to evolve, Fleet Foxes released "Helplessness Blues" in 2011, an album that delved into more personal territory and further solidified their importance in the folk scene, earning them a Grammy nomination. After a six-year hiatus, the band returned with "Crack-Up" in 2017, a complex and introspective record that expanded their sonic palette. In 2020, amidst a global pandemic, Fleet Foxes surprised fans with "Shore," a life-affirming album that sought to offer solace and connection during uncertain times. The record's warmth and accessibility cemented their status as one of the most enduring acts in modern folk, with an ability to continuously captivate and comfort a growing audience.
