Fleet Foxes - Grown Ocean

Fleet Foxes just keep leaking cuts from their new album Helplessness Blues left and right. This time our new track, Grown Ocean comes attached to an appropriately dusty music video. All the songs we've heard have sounded very much like Fleet Foxes songs, but its looking like the bands focusing on more traditional song structures this time around.

Head on over to Stereogum to hear a third new Fleet Foxes track off of their upcoming album "Helplessness Blues" out on May 3rd. I'm still feeling Battery Kinzie a bit more, but none of the previews of this album have disappointed.

Fleet Foxes are just one of many bands doing whatever they can to help out the situation in Japan. The band is auctioning off one test pressing of their new album Helplessness Blues with all proceeds going towards the Japanese relief effort. Maybe the the lucky (and apparently wealthy) winner will leak the whole album before its may 3rd release, but personally I enjoy the anticipation. Check out one more new song (ripped from BBC) to get you even more excited about the new album.

Radiohead, Fleet Foxes finished recording!

1st off, Radiohead is "done recording a new group of songs", according an essay by bassist Collin Greenwood! The essay is pretty lengthy, but definitely worth your time. Greenwood talks about the decision let their fans decide what in rainbows was worth to them, and how the internet has changed since then. He doesn't really say if this next album (group of songs... whatever) will be released in a similar matter however.

In more awesome "the music is ready" news, Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes posted this update on their facebook:

Fleet Foxes Hey all, it's been a bit since a recording update. Well, recording is done! We are flying to New York tomorrow to mix and master the album and will have information about release date and when you'll get to hear a song or two SOON. Geologically soon but soon. -Robin

Anyways, heres a remix from each of those bands last album's to get you excited!
