Robin & Aja Pecknold by Sarah Jurado (via Three Imaginary Girls)
Pitchfork-acclaimed, Seattle-centric Fleet Fox frontman Robin Pecknold rattled the ears of a packed house last Friday with his golden pipes. Without being shrouded in band member's harmonies and musical stylings, Pecknold was left to fend for himself (save a few songs where J. Tillman jumped on drums), proving he could just as easily leave the blog-friend Washington band and make it on his own.
He played a number of covers, including Neutral Milk Hotel's 'Two-Headed Boy' and Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams', where his sister Aja jumped onstage, (vintage Mom jeans and all), and accompanied him on vocals. Although nervous to be solo, Pecknold's performance was confident, soulful, thunderous, and yet somehow intimate. He made sure to treat the crowd to a few Fleet Fox tracks as well, including an oldie, 'Icicle Tusk' and 'He Doesn't Know Why'.
If you aren't familiar with his face, Robin can easily blend into the sea of plaid, beards, and jeans that make up the Seattle scene. His musical talents on the otherhand, are outstanding both vocally, and in music technicality; he's a master of words, of melody, and of guitar.
