A Very Lonely Solstice

Limited Clear Vinyl Edition

Robin Pecknold illuminates the darkest of winters with Fleet Foxes' A Very Lonely Solstice, a 13-track collection spanning their career, recorded in December 2020 at Brooklyn, NY’s St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church.

Released for the first time on vinyl, CD, and digital formats, A Very Lonely Solstice captures a poignant moment in time. Originally broadcasted as a live-stream event on the winter solstice of 2020, just days after New York declared a state of emergency due to increasing COVID-19 cases. Pecknold describes the set as "me by myself on the longest night of the year... honoring the loneliness of 2020 with a nylon string and some songs new and old." Fans worldwide tuned in while quarantined at home, finding solace and a sense of community in a period of extreme isolation.

A Very Lonely Solstice showcases Pecknold's solo focus, offering acoustic arrangements of fan-favorite songs from Fleet Foxes' catalog. The selection covers all four of the band’s studio albums, from their 2008 self-titled debut album ("Tiger Mountain Peasant Song") to 2011's Helplessness Blues ("Blue Spotted Tail")
