Today, Consequence of Sound revealed a brand new video which captures Fleet Foxes‘ performing a breathtaking rendition of their 2017 album’s title track, “Crack-Up”, alongside acclaimed Icelandic chorus Graduale Nobili at Reykjavík’s famous Harpa Concert Hall. You may know Graduale Nobili as the all-female choir that toured the world with fellow Iceland export Björk in the early 2010’s.
The performance was filmed in one extended shot at the architecturally brilliant performance hall just before Fleet Foxes headlined the Iceland Airwaves Music Festival. In the video, the camera moves from backstage to onstage to the open auditorium, capturing a 360° perspective on the musicians at work, illuminated against the hall’s beautifully paneled backdrop.
Watch the continuously-shot video of Fleet Foxes performing “Crack-Up” with Icelandic choir Graduale Nobili at Harpa Concert Hall below, produced by Consequence of Sound:
Fleet Foxes released Crack-Up, their third studio album, in June of 2017. Before reconvening for the new album, the band had been on hiatus since the release of 2011’s Helplessness Blues. They spent much of 2017 on the road in support of Crack-Up, completing an extensive U.S. tour followed by a winter European run and a trip to Australia for a Falls Festival performance over New Year’s weekend.
This spring, the band will mount a lengthy U.S. tour which will take them to both coasts and virtually everywhere in between from early March through the end of May. The American tour will feature an array of amphitheater stops in addition to sets at high profile festivals like Coachella, Shaky Knees, and Boston Calling. Fleet Foxes will head back overseas during most of July and August for a series of European festival performances in Denmark, Czech Republic, Poland, Belgium, Finland, Wales, and more, in addition to a one-off performance at Toronto’s Sony Centre for the Performing Arts on July 24th.
