A Very Lonely Solstice

Description

Robin Pecknold brings light to the bleakest of winters with "A Very Lonely Solstice," 13 tracks covering his entire career, recorded in December 2020 at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn, NY. "A Very Lonely Solstice" captures a poignant moment in time. The recording was originally livestreamed on the 2020 winter solstice, just days after New York declared a health emergency and tightened restrictions again in response to rising COVID-19 cases. Pecknold describes the set as "me alone on the longest night of the year... honoring the loneliness of 2020 with a nylon string and some new and old songs." Fans around the world tuned in while quarantined at home, finding comfort and a sense of community during a period of extreme isolation. Much of "A Very Lonely Solstice" showcases a solo performance by Pecknold, offering acoustic arrangements of fan-favorite songs from the Fleet Foxes catalog.
