Fleet Foxes have revealed that they faced various problems with the recording of their second LP,‘Helplessness Blues’, confessing that they were forced to re-record the majority of the release after initial mixes were underwhelming.
The follow-up to their acclaimed self-titled debut was initially chalked for a release date in 2010, however the album was delayed due to the band members not being happy with the finished material. Speaking toUncut, singer Robin Pecknold said:"When we did the first mix of the album it was like, 'This is where we're at, not where we want to be.'"
He continued:"I felt there were things that could be improved. I wasn't being precious about it. I wanted the album finished and out as much as anyone. But as soon as we started retooling one or two of the tracks, that opened the floodgates."
The Fleet Foxes singer went on to assert that he would never bow down to record label pressure and release something prematurely:"There was absolutely no chance I was going to ever put out something that I wasn't totally convinced was as good as it could possibly be. I didn't care how many times we had to re-record stuff."
‘Helplessness Blues’ is currently scheduled for release on May 2nd in the UK. You can listen to ‘Battery Kinzie’, a track from ‘Helplessness Blues’ below:
