Crack-Up is the third studio album by American band Fleet Foxes, released on June 16, 2017, by Nonesuch Records.[5] Loosely inspired by F. Scott Fitzgerald's essay collection of the same name, it is the follow-up to their 2011 album Helplessness Blues, following the band's three-year hiatus from 2013 to 2016.[6] It is also the band's first release on the Nonesuch label after departing Sub Pop.[7]
