Robin Pecknold brings light to the bleakest of winters with A Very Lonely Solstice, a 13-track collection recorded at Brooklyn, NY’s St. Ann & The Holy Trinity Church. The album captures a poignant moment in time: The recording was originally broadcast as a live-stream event on the winter solstice of 2020, just days after New York declared a state of emergency tightening restrictions again in response to COVID-19. Pecknold describes the set as, “Me by myself on the longest night of the year…honoring the loneliness of 2020 with a nylon string and some songs new and old.”

Much of A Very Lonely Solstice showcases a solo focus on Pecknold, who offers up acoustic arrangements of fan-favorite songs spanning the Foxes’ four studio albums. Resistance Revival Chorus joins Pecknold on Shore tracks “Wading In Waist-High Water” and “Can I Believe You.” Also featured: A cover of Nina Simone’s “In The Morning” and a rearrangement of the traditional “Silver Dagger.”
