  • Deluxe Packaging Damages Vinyl for Father John Misty's 'I Love You, Honeybear'; Sub Pop Promises New Pressing

    The appeal in vinyl is that it's just much more fun to hold, and the possibilities for packaging stretch much farther.

  • Father John Misty Streams MIDI Version of Album 'I Love You, Honeybear'

    These days, it seems as if every big album has to be streamed online for free before its official release date, but singer-songwriter -- and former Fleet Foxes drummer -- Josh Tillman, better known as Father John Misty, has found a sly way to get around that.

  • Fleet Foxes's Robin Pecknold Writes Music for Off-B'way Play 'Wyoming'

    It has been nearly four years since we have heard a new Fleet Foxes album, but today it was revealed that Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold has composed the music for an upcoming off-Broadway play titled "Wyoming," which was written by Pecknold's cousin Brian Watkins and directed by Danya Taymor. According to "Stereogum," Pecknold co-wrote the music along with percussionist Neal Morgan, who is best known for his work with Bill Callahan and Pecknold's old touring partner Joanna Newsom — perhaps that is where they met? According to "Broadway World," "Wyoming" is a "biting, brilliant family drama about buried memories of a confounding childhood crime" produced by Lesser America. As of right now, Pecknold has no plans to record or release his score, which means you will have to go see the play, which runs from Jan. 15 to 31 at Theater for the New City in New York City. You can purchase tickets for "Wyoming" here. Fleet Foxes's most recent album "Helplessness Blues" was released in 2011. It was the Seattle band's second studio album overall, following their self-titled, debut album from 2008. Most recently, Pecknold embarked on a tour with members of Grizzly Bear, Wye Oak, Beach House and The Walkmen celebrating the music of late Byrds member Gene Clark.

  • 10 Best Cover Songs Of 2014

    Because cover songs don't garner nearly as much traction on the radio or the charts as they once did, artists these days treat them more like fun little experiments, where they can try out things they normally wouldn't on one of their albums or original singles.
