Live Review: Fleet Foxes at Islington Assembly Hall, London - August 25, 2022

Live Review: Fleet Foxes at Islington Assembly Hall, London - August 25, 2022

“Despite the relative intimacy of the venue, Fleet Foxes played with the same gusto and volume they brought to their festival slot the next day, with Pecknold joined on stage by eight others to provide the cornucopia of sounds heard in the band’s music. For the opening song, “Wading In The Waist-High Water”, they were also joined by Uwade, who guests on the recorded version of the song and has been opening for the band on tour. Her soulful-yet-light voice opened the set over the punchy rumbling of the band like dawn on a new day, the horn blasts the sounds of the world stirring.”

I worship Fleet Foxes, it was such a delight to see them play again after five years. Check my full review over here.
