Big hat tip to Matt from You Ain’t No Picasso for uncovering this piece of Fleet Foxes history. Matt uncovered a video of a younger version of Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold covering Radiohead’s “Let Down” alongside his friend, Aaron Mannino. At the time, Robin was only 17 years old. Even then, he nailed it. You can definitely hear the promise of a very special musician who would later achieve greatness in the eyes of many.
