Fleet Foxes on Q

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- While Fleet Foxes continue to draw widespread acclaim for their new album "Helplessness Blues", frontman Robin Pecknold continues to struggle with demons of self-doubt in music and life. We talk to Pecknold and co-founding member Skye Skjelset about how the band overcomes these barriers, and what it means when audiences love the music they make, but the creator sees it as his "problem".

He's got a laptop from 1998
Not to take away from FFs, but Jian is a damn good host
he asks really good questions
adam smith He did a great interview with MGMT who are pretty bad with interviews.
I think he made them unconfortable
although he makes some of the most beautiful music i've ever heard, he still feels insecure about his work and himself. thats human beauty at its peak. never turn into a self confident prick, robin.
“if he started rock climbing it’d be wrong” - 6 years later they wanna start rock climbing together 😂
Max Ramsden I thought of that too!
I can say he is very mystical man, he's in another level of consciousness !! that's why i love his music and lyrics, all the unspoken notions and feelings..
yeah but musically Mumford cant even touch fleet foxes, fleet foxes transcend any mainstream due to their shear musicality
Really nice to see Robin speak , he seems very humble , but I don't like the questions the interviewer gives them , he keeps talking about sales and succes , and you can tell Robin isn't in music for the succes.Helplessness Blues was such a personal album, I wish he would have asked the meaning and origins of some songs and musical ideas (like the free jazz saxo on The Shrine/Argument) anyways it was really awesome to see Robin answer all these questions, I hope there next album is just as good
dO yOu LiKe BeInG fAmOuS?!
This is random but what kind of jacket (Robin’s) would that be called? I like the look
IMO Robin Pecknold sounds better singing than talking.
How does the interviewer not understand "lost world to Jurassic Park"
yeah you can tell that he, and the rest of the crew, are very humble. I guess their success was sort of accidental, but you can definitely tell that they're in it for the MUSIC and not for fame. I love them :)
I want to hear more about why he felt more interesting in the health food store.
justin vernon and robin pecknold are going to be the people my children grow up listening to, as I grew up listening to dylan and young.
i don't understand why interviewers consistently waste so much time asking successful bands what it's like to have made it. I'm pretty sure no one finds that aspect interesting anymore, especially people who like this type of music.
that laptop tho...
The Jurassic park metaphor is dead on
I think I don't notice he's being vague because I've gone numb to it because of too many Alex Turner interviews.
adam smith Chill, m8
either this is actually a really old interview or robin pecknold's hair grows freakishly fast.
So stoked to hear that Robin's big on Pet Sounds, Smile, Odessey and Oracle as well!
Skye and I have the same mickey mouse watch. Rad.
I feel like Robin is basically saying he's not willing to sell his soul to the devil to get ahead in music.
Imagine how bad that would be if that happened.
I remember reading their spin article, and the rest of the band members almost had to make an intervention because of Robin's constant revisions of helplessness blues.
Charlie Kelly.
That "couple of solo EPs" Robin mentions...
I know of St Vincent St. Is there another I'm unaware of? I need to hear it...
5:26 «The Beach Boys' «Pet Sounds» changed my life»
24:38 «Radiohead, the best band ever»
Respect, Robin!
still don't see it, sir. Robin's just left a longtime relationship with his girlfriend..
R.I.P. Robin's beard.
gosh, i feel like the interviewer wasn't really understanding what was robin was saying sometimes but i totally understood!
Okay ladies, just out of curiosity-- Robin or Skye, who's the most attractive?
Robin!
Did he just compare fleet foxes to animal collective? 😂 that’s odd
lead singer is cuteeee
Oh I think that I misheard something. I thought the interviewer asked them how it was effecting their performance in bed. Implying that they were sexual partners. My bad. peace
i'm extremely fond of their music, but this video is kind of painful to watch. but whatever, it is their good right to be really tedious and reluctant in interviews!
The same is often said of Sam Gamgee for Frodo. Same thing, I think. Just a couple of awesome dudes who are super super close, to the point of it maybe looking homosexual.
can't even look at jian anymore
skchalivetlnd That's the thing with accusations though. it taints someone's image forever.
They would go on to a indefinite hiatus after their second album because if all the noise the album created. They just got tired of becoming the popular kids really fast and dropped everything after the tour. You can see Robin talk about this towards the end of the interview not knowing the popularity of their new album would be too much to endure forcing them into a hiatus.
what a weird interview/interviewer.
4:27 "it was one time" LOL
I just can't get over the fact that one of my all time favorite musicians just referenced Michael Crichton, my all time favorite author.
Truman Show Syndrome, here I come.
I think Jian Gomeshi does a wonderful job by keeping up with Robin and asking follow-up-questions so that the interview almost becomes like a conersation rather than Q&A all the way.
@130leviatan Nope, they were just in studio to chat. Next time, for sure.
Why does green jacket look sad af
jurassic park
the interviewer is kinda condescending
Does the interviewer bug anyone else? Sometimes he's just a bit much.
Well, he was accused and proven guilty of sexual harassment, so that might be it...
Good things take time. Listen to Robin how he talks about this stuff. He won't release music just for the sake of releasing it, and personally, I think that is great. BTW he's posted a photo of him recording songs on Facebook, so he's not idle. I'm sure there will be a new record at some point, whether that is in 2 years or in 10 I really can't tell.
He seems as lost for words to express his feelings as me
robin hasn't changed his shirt in months... I saw him back in july and he was wearing the same shirt!! he is still the man!
I have a laptop like that I still use.
if it ain't broke...
it's insanely slow though.
"I felt more interesting working at the health food store" XD
I would hardly call songs like Minnesota, WI artificial or un-organic...
Both artists are excellent without mirroring each other.
@mattyD2341
Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, and Fleet Foxes use a lot of vocal harmonies
And fleet foxes and animal collective cite The Beach Boys as a major influence.
I like all 3 bands, but I think Fleet Foxes is my favorite.
So rare to see them give an interview. Thanks a ton.
23:50 maybe this question scared Robin into a five year hiatus
You can really tell he was about to be done
I respect Robin and this entire band so much. Mad props
awwwww they are so cute
I didn't know that these two guys were gay before this interview. I don't care I'm just kind of surprised.
They aren't.
love you forever Robin bby
you know..... like....you know....
Thanks for the recommendation, Robin. Midlake is amazing; like if Fleet Foxes, Fleetwood Mac, and Radiohead had a musical 3-way...
i still haven't been able to figure out why exactly, but i really don't like any of the members of fleet foxes as people. i love their music, but their personalities kinda annoy me.
Robin is clearly a wise existentialist and the host coudn't hardly make efforts to aknowledge how genius the frontman is.
I kind of feel like Skye has a thing for Robin.
Or they are just good friends
i find the tension between these two fascinating
15:05 omg yes!! Perfectionism is debilitating. I feel ya, Robin.
My two favorite boys :D
Ahh yes, Pet Sounds changed my life as well. One of the most amazing, meaningful albums ever made. I guess I just wasn't made for this time.
Their interview mabey slow, but they are definately not boring individules! They are pure humanbeing who are faithful to what they are with sparkling souls...
he thinks of the hardest possible way to answer a question.
I know Robin, i know.
I really love this band, but I find these guys a little drab and kinda uninteresting. Its almost like theyre afraid to say anything, lest they get shot down or are misunderstood.
for such a wonderful songwriter he is unfortunately very inarticulate as an interviewee. Sky can't seem to talk without looking at Robin to make sure he is saying the right thing. still BRILLIANT band. wonderful music.
COULD YOU IMAGINE A CONCERT WITH FLEET FOXES AND BON IVER AND MUMFORD AND SONS AND CITY AND COLOUR AND LIKE SUFJAN STEVENS COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW CRAZY THAT WOULD BE
I have come to think that Jian Ghomeshi is one of the best all-around interviewers, and especially with musicians. So I take criticisms of his questions with a grain of salt, as a method in interviews is sometimes to take a tack that the interviewer does not necessarily agree with but is used to draw out something from the interviewee.
i have a feeling it's because the interviewer isn't really that into their music. otherwise, he'd have better questions.
relax bro. there isnt a perfect answer.
let ur music do the talking. i feel like your better that way
Grizzly Bear!
Dont know why he put them with animal collective. That just doesnt make any sense.
they are so amazing, best band in a while! They definitely do sound like CS&N, and even though Grizzly Bear is different then them (more electronic) they are awesome too...
come back ):
@greenheart136 like mumford... our fallen soldiers :(
Skye is so cute.
@thismarginalia I looked for that and totally agree.Good catch.
8:00
I think Jian asked some pretty insightful questions. Enjoyed the interview.
please put the entire fist bon iver interview up. PLEASE.
YES THEN I WOULD DEFINETELY SHOUT IN CAPS LOCK FOR THE WHOLE SHOW
What's the band Robin compares Fleet Foxes to at 20:07?
Finally another band that plays not for Money, but the music
That is a valid point, but I still love 'my boyfriend' Jian ;)
I just found this band... Lovin em... Vocals remind me of jim james
your world just got a whole lot better my friend
Two bands, actually.
"Midlake or The Bees."
was this before or after J Tillman left?
hahaha lmao, my thoughts exactly. (o_o` )
Scott looks so much like John Paul Jones!
Midlake or the Bees (A Band of Bees)
terrible interview hahaha
LOOK AT THAT OLD ASS LAPTOP!
I hope there IS a next album.
