\"\"Crack-Up is the awaited third album from Seattle indie-folksters Fleet Foxes. This album finds the Fleet Foxes continuing further inwards with new complications added to their hallowed folk tunes. String sections and muted keyboards find themselves weaved in with the trademarked rising harmonies over guitar strums. The lyrics find themselves more introspective, surely aided by frontman Robin Pecknold\u2019s attendance at Columbia University. Crack-Up rises a little higher and sinks a little lower with the abundance of longer tracks. Fans of the previous two Fleet Foxes records will rejoice in a deeper take on their sound. The longer form does do good for most of the tunes, allowing them space to breathe some life into the Foxes\u2019 tested formula.
\n\u201cCassius -\u201d and \u201c- Naiads, Cassadies\u201d are two halves of a movement capturing the sound of the album\u2019s cover, waves crashing on a hard coast. \u201cKept Woman\u201d is a slow, hollow track that places intense focus on the group\u2019s gorgeous harmonies. \u201cThird Of May\u201d is a personal favorite, featuring the aforementioned step towards jointed orchestrated movements and clocking in at almost nine minutes. \u201cFool\u2019s Errand\u201d is a shorter, jumpier tune found in the second half that calls to mind the Fleet Foxes\u2019 previous smash singles.
\nNot all good things come to those who wait, but those who have waited for Crack-Up will find only good things within.
