Crack-Up is the upcoming third studio album by Seattle, Washington–based folk band Fleet Foxes. Scheduled to be released on June 16, 2017 as the follow-up to their 2011 album Helplessness Blues,Crack-Up will be the band's first release on Nonesuch Records, and will be their first release in 6 years, following a 3 year hiatus from 2013 to 2016.
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, and The Unknown. Phil Ek mixed the album at Sear Sound, and Greg Calbi mastered it at Sterling Sound.
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"; 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. The song was released via Fleet Foxes' new YouTube channel, coupled with a lyric video created by Sean Pecknold and Adi Goodrich. The following day, Pecknold annotated some of the lyrics of the song using Genius, and appeared on BBC Radio 6 Music. An edited version of "Third of May / Ōdaigahara," with a runtime of 4:02, was released three days later.
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".
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.
