After a dix-year break during which frontman Robin Pecknold vanished to the Washington woods then reappeared as a college student in New York, Fleet Foxes return with a fresh sense of purpose. Expanding on the harmony-driven sound of their first two albums, Crack-Up boasts both pretty, straightforward folk tunes and sprawling, suite-like explorations that are at once comforting and quietly avant-garde. It's a balance that allows the band's natural sweetness - and wild ambition - to shine. - Apple Music
