"Grown Ocean" comes from Helplessness Blues, Fleet Foxes' second album, which Sub Pop and Bella Union put out in May 2011. Robin Pecknold wrote it, words and music, and Phil Ek co-produced, engineered and mixed it, with Bill Patton sitting in on pedal steel and lap steel.
The album came with a lineup shuffle: it was the first Fleet Foxes album with bassist Christian Wargo and multi-instrumentalist Morgan Henderson, and the only one with Josh Tillman on drums and backing vocals before he left in 2012 to make records as Father John Misty. Helplessness Blues went on to a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album.
