Via Robin Pecknold - “Taylor Swift is a hard act to follow to say the least, but the Big Red Machine song I helped out on, ‘Phoenix,’ is out in the world today! Endless thanks to Aaron Dessner for graciously inviting me into this great song and inspiring project. It was a high, high honor to finally sing with both Justin Vernon (such a generational talent and a North Star for so many of us) and the wonderful Anais Mitchell. Hope you enjoy, big thanks also to Jarvis Taveniere for engineering my vocal session earlier in the year, and to the amazing Westerlies for their beautiful horn arrangement. I felt like a pilgrim carrying questions to the sage, not needing clear answers, but glad for the chance to ask.”

He also performed songs from Shore, recorded live exclusively for World Cafe."

From the outset of recording, we aspired to make an album that could stand alongside our previous work, venture into its own territory, and that would leave a clear horizon for us moving forward - we feel like we got it there, even if it took a while. Thanks for sticking with us, couldn't be more excited to be sharing this with you!
We're excited to announce a new video for "Fool's Errand", the second track on Crack-Up, due June 16 via Nonesuch Records. Directed by Sean Pecknold with art direction by Adi Goodrich and produced by SOCIETY.
