Aside from some one-off solo tracks as White Antelope, Robin Pecknold has been quiet since taking over playlists and year-end lists with his band of Fleet Foxes. He's shed his once-prolific Twitter account, and before deleting the archives he suggested it was time to strap in and get serious about writing new FF material. A reemergence might be approaching, if today's session for BBC6 Music's Glastonbury coverage is an indication: Here Robin performs a plaintive and existential, finger-picked folk ditty with the working title "Blue Spotted Tail." It's unaccompanied, so you'll have to fill in the harmonies yourself.
Fleet Foxes - "Blue Spotted Tail" (Live On BBC6) (MP3)
Thanks for the tip, Peenko. Fleet Foxes are scheduled to play Glastonbury today. If you're headed there, might wanna bring mudboots.
UPDATE: Here's video of Robin performing it for the first time in concert, at Huxley's in Berlin. (Thanks for the heads up, Marcel.)
