the Fleet Foxes covers archive :: 18 covers and counting!
April 25th, 2011 by Matt

With the Fleet Foxes’ Helplessness Blues on the horizon, I figured now would be an excellent time to put this into the world. Here are all the Fleet Foxes covers I could in my first sweep through the internet. Some of these are Robin solo, some are from his solo project White Antelope, but I decided to label them all as “Fleet Foxes” to save myself a headache. Maybe I should have gone with the “Robin Pecknold covers archive,” but chances are you wouldn’t have found it then.
UPDATE: Added a cover of BOAT’s “Clogged Castle.”

Thanks for adding all of these artists covers compilations. You are really doing a great job with these and it is nice to have a onestop shop to find these.

Any way to download these?

Right-click. Save as. If you’re on a mac it’s Control+Click > Save Link As.

Olya: It’s working for me. Does right clicking bring up the dialog box that has options like “copy” and “open link in new tab” ? If so, and you’re clicking “Save As,” I’m not really sure how to help.

Thanks for the collection! In case you’re interested, “Silver Dagger” also features as a studio recording on the B-side of the “Your Protector” single…
