Indie Indulgence

Laneway Music Festival is still a fortnight away but indie fans might want to "warm up" with Fleet Foxes performing this weekend.

It's the first time the Seattle baroque folk-pop group is playing in Singapore and the tour is in support of their highly acclaimed third album Crack Up, released last June.

The record was made after a three-year-plus hiatus which saw frontman Robin Pecknold going back to school and then returning to write the band's most musically complex work to date.
