If you’ve been putting “White Winter Hymnal” on repeat during these cold months (because…you have), it has probably not only served the purpose of helping you cope with the bitter temperatures, but has probably also gotten you super giddy about the possibility of a new Fleet Foxes record. Well, hey! Today is your lucky day, because the news has been announced that the Foxes’ new record is just around the corner. Well, May 3, but at least that is in sight now.
The announcement comes with the MP3 of the title track from the album. You can check out “Helplessness Blues” below. The track is a rambling folk ditty with thick, harmonized vocal arrangements. Not a big surprise from this band, but an excellent showing that they still do have it. Listen below.
