Fleet Foxes are releasing a new album, Crack-Up, on June 16 via Nonesuch. Previously they had shared the album’s first single, the near nine-minute long “Third of May / Ōdaigahara,” and announced some festival appearances and tour dates. Now they have announced four new shows in the band’s native Pacific Northwest. They will actually take place before their other dates, in May, and are billed as intimate shows and are likely acting as warm up dates for the band. Check out the dates below, followed again by “Third of May / Ōdaigahara.”

Crack-Up is the band’s third album, the long-awaited follow-up to 2011’s Helplessness Blues. Frontman Robin Pecknold wrote all of the album’s 11 songs and co-produced it with his bandmate (and childhood friend) Skyler Skjelset. The album was recorded from July 2016 to January 2017 at various studios around America: Electric Lady Studios, Sear Sound, The Void, Rare Book Room, Avast, and The Unknown. Phil Ek mixed the album at Sear Sound and Greg Calbi mastered it at Sterling Sound. Josh Tillman was in the band in the Helplessness Blues era but had long since left to focus on his Father John Misty project. The current Fleet Foxes lineup is Robin Pecknold (vocals, multi-instrumentalist), Skyler Skjelset (multi-instrumentalist, vocals), Casey Wescott (multi-instrumentalist, vocals), Christian Wargo (multi-instrumentalist, vocals), and Morgan Henderson (multi-instrumentalist).
