Fleet Foxes are an American indie folk band formed in Seattle, Washington, in 2006. The band was founded by Robin Pecknold and Skyler Skjelset, with Pecknold serving as the lead vocalist and principal songwriter. The group's lineup has included Casey Wescott, Christian Wargo, and Morgan Henderson, among others, with Pecknold and Skjelset remaining the only constant members. Fleet Foxes gained recognition in 2008 with the release of their second EP, Sun Giant, and their self-titled debut album on Sub Pop, both of which received widespread critical acclaim. Their second album, Helplessness Blues, released in 2011, was their most commercially successful, reaching number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. After a three-year hiatus, the band reconvened in 2016 to record their third album, Crack-Up, which was released in 2017 on Nonesuch Records. In 2020, they released Shore, a project primarily led by Pecknold without the involvement of other band members, through the Anti- label.
