Fleet Foxes is releasing its second album, Helplessness Blues, on May 3 via the Sub Pop and Bella Union labels. The dozen-song LP is the follow-up to 2008′s self-titled debut and was co-produced by the band and Phil Ek (Shins, Built To Spill, Modest Mouse). The Seattle-based six-piece kicks off a month-long tour on April 29 in Vancouver that will take Robin Pecknold and Co. across both North America and Europe, with more dates later in June, July and August.
