Robin Pecknold wrote "Lorelai", words and music, for Helplessness Blues, the second Fleet Foxes album, which Sub Pop and Bella Union put out in 2011. Phil Ek co-produced it, engineered it and mixed it.
The record marked a lineup shift: it was the first Fleet Foxes album with bassist Christian Wargo and multi-instrumentalist Morgan Henderson, and the only one with drummer and backing singer Josh Tillman, who left in 2012 to go solo as Father John Misty. Critics fell over themselves for it, it reached number 4 on the Billboard 200, higher than the band had ever gone there, and it picked up a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album.
