BBC Radio 6 Music - Radcliffe and Maconie, Fleet Foxes' Robin Pecknold

Mark Radcliffe presents solo and hears from Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes.

Mark Radcliffe presents solo and hears from Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes about the band's new album.

Mark Radcliffe presents solo and today's guest is Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes. The Seattle indie-folksters were formed back in 2006 when Robin met Skyler Skjelset at High School. Little known fact: they were originally called The Pineapples and they had to change their name due to a name clash with another local group. Their last record Helplessness Blues was released back in 2011, and they've been on hiatus ever since. However, this year marks their return as they're releasing their third album Crack-Up in June and Robin chats all about it. 

And if that wasn't enough, there's the trusty show staple The Chain - where you, the actual listener, get the chance to link one track to the one before - and Teatime Themetime, for all your huddle-round-the-wireless-radio-quiz needs.
