Crack-Up is the third studio album by American band Fleet Foxes, released on June 16, 2017, by Nonesuch Records.[5] Loosely inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's essay collection of the same name, it is the follow-up to their 2011 album Helplessness Blues, following the band's three-year hiatus from 2013 to 2016.[6] It is also the band's first release on the Nonesuch label after departing Sub Pop.[7]
Recording
[edit]Crack-Up was recorded at various locations across the United States between July 2016 and January 2017: Electric Lady Studios, Sear Sound, The Void, Rare Book Room, Avast Recording Company, and The Unknown. Phil Ek mixed the album at Sear Sound, and Greg Calbi mastered it at Sterling Sound.[1]
Release and promotion
[edit]Fleet Foxes released the first song from the album on March 7, 2017: "Third of May / Ōdaigahara", a "nearly nine-minute epic powered by piano and electric twelve-string guitar, string quartet, and the group's trademark sparkling harmonies";[8][9] on the same day, Robin Pecknold appeared on Apple Music's Beats 1 radio station to discuss the new song, as well as the band's hiatus and their upcoming tour.[10][11] The song was released via Fleet Foxes' new YouTube channel,[12] coupled with a lyric video created by Sean Pecknold and Adi Goodrich.[13] The following day, Pecknold annotated some of the lyrics of the song using Genius,[14][15] and appeared on BBC Radio 6 Music.[16] An edited version of "Third of May / Ōdaigahara", with a duration of 4:02, was released three days later.[17]
On March 18, 2017, Pecknold used Reddit to confirm a fan's theory that the first track on the new album would begin exactly where the last track on their previous album, Helplessness Blues, ended. Thus, the last notes of "Grown Ocean" will connect to the first notes of "I Am All That I Need / Arroyo Seco / Thumbprint Scar".[18][19][20]
An album trailer made by Sean Pecknold was released on YouTube on April 4, 2017, featuring in-studio footage as well as previews of many forthcoming songs.[21][22][23]
A first look at the packaging proofs of the vinyl was provided by Robin Pecknold on April 20, showcasing the front cover,[24] the inside[25] and the back cover.[26] Many of the featured images are the work of the Japanese photographer Hiroshi Hamaya.[25] When asked about the release of a second single from the album, Pecknold commented that it would be released in a "couple weeks" and that a music video was being made in the meantime.[25][27] He later announced that the "20 most frequent commenters" on his Instagram page were being rewarded with signed test pressings of the album as an expression of gratitude for their support.[28][29][30][31]
A second track "Fool's Errand" was released on May 12,[32][33][34][35] along with a music video created by Sean Pecknold and Adi Goodrich, and starring Jade-Lorna Sullivan.[36][37][38][39]
The band performed four tracks from the album live on KEXP on May 17.[40]
To support the album, Fleet Foxes began touring on May 15, 2017, with four "intimate" shows in the US, where they debuted new material from Crack-Up,[41][42][43] followed by four shows at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall, with the final Sydney show being streamed on Facebook Live.[44][45][46][47][48] The band then continued their tour throughout 2017, with concerts in Europe, the United States and Canada.[49][50]
The band announced on June 6, 2017, that Beats 1 would broadcast the exclusive, official premiere of "If You Need to, Keep Time on Me" the following day.[51][52] The song was uploaded to their YouTube channel the same day.[53][54]
The entire album was released via NPR on June 8, 2017, ahead of its official release.[55][56]
Prior to the album's release, Fleet Foxes performed "Third of May / Ōdaigahara" for Live from the Artists Den at The Knockdown Center in Queens, New York, later releasing the performance on their YouTube page.[57][58]
The band appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on June 16, the day of the album's release, to perform "Third of May".[59][60] The following morning, June 17, they appeared on CBS This Morning's Saturday Sessions, playing "Third of May", "If You Need To, Keep Time on Me", and "Fool's Errand" live from Electric Lady Studios in New York.[61][62][63]
Robin Pecknold appeared on the June 22 episode of Hrishikesh Hirway's podcast Song Exploder to break down the song "Mearcstapa", mentioning Ali Farka Touré, Can and Steve Strohmeier as influences.[64][65][66] The band then appeared on the July 14 episode of Talia Schlanger's World Cafe to discuss the album and play some tracks live.[67][68]
Fleet Foxes returned to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on October 26 to perform "Fool's Errand".[69]

Crack-Up received widespread acclaim from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 81, based on 31 reviews, which indicates "universal acclaim".[71]
In his review for AllMusic, Timothy Monger wrote that the album was, "Orchestral, experimental, and more challenging than either of the band's previous releases, it's a natural fit for the Nonesuch label, whose heritage was built on such attributes. For Fleet Foxes, it represents a shift away from their more idyllic early days into a period of artistic growth and sophistication."[72] Ian Cohen for Pitchfork gave similar praise by stating that, "Crack-Up supports the heft of Pecknold's concerns by working on a massive scale that no band is really attempting in 2017, let alone able to accomplish. Fleet Foxes are still a folk act, though one that's absorbed far-flung versions of the term."[78]
