Fleet Foxes just premiered a new video for Mykonos. Also, this is unconfirmed and on the DL, but we’ve heard rumors of Fleet Foxes singer Robin Pecknold doing a solo set at at SXSW shindig. Just a few days ago, fans stumbled upon the MySpace page for a band called White Antelope, that had his name listed. He has since confirmed that it is a casual side project, so the rumors have some corroborating evidence. We’ll let you know as soon as the buzz is confirmed.
In the announcements realm, Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear directed his Twitter friends towards a new Stereogum post talking with him about progress on mixing the followup to 2006’s Yellow House EP.
And if you love SXSW but hate spending money, now you’ve got an option other than hitting the free day shows or volunteering: you can be an intern for Purevolume. They set up a house during SXSW each year, and then deliver a stellar lineup each time.
