With the release of Fleet Foxes‘ acclaimed self-titled debut now over a month old, the Foxes have released the album’s first single and accompanying video for the track, “White Winter Hymnal.” The video, which you can enjoy below, features well designed claymation of the band created by singer Robin Pecknold’s own brother, Sean Pecknold. Though we won’t spoil the video’s premise, we will tell you in follows suit with the band’s rustic, old-world theme. Fleet Foxes are currently touring the US and will be making numerous festival appearances, including Chicago’s own Pitchfork Music Festival. For a complete list of appearances, please see tour dates below.
