"Third of May / Ōdaigahara" was the first song Fleet Foxes let out of Crack-Up, their third album, arriving on March 7, 2017, ahead of the record's June 16 release on Nonesuch. After a three-year hiatus it was a bold way back in: close to nine minutes long, with piano, electric twelve-string guitar and a string quartet under the band's signature harmonies.
Robin Pecknold wrote the words and music and produced it with Skyler Skjelset and Son of a Cloud, and the credits read like an instrument museum. Pecknold plays piano, harpsichord, Hammond organ, Minimoog, autoharp, bass and a stack of guitars; Skjelset adds electric guitar, shamisen and synth, Casey Wescott koto, Morgan Henderson clarinet and Matt Barrick drums. Phil Ek mixed it, as he did the whole album.
