Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

Today, Singer, songwriter and Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Peknold shares his 'First, Last and Everything' - that’s the first record he owned, the most recent one he’s enjoyed and the record that means ‘everything’ to him. He reveals the very first record he bought as an 8-year-old and discusses his love of Marvin Gaye’s music.

Robin also chats about the recent surprise release of Fleet Foxes’ fourth album ‘Shore’. Robin started writing the album in September 2018, at the end of a 170-show tour. A number of the songs were written during a month long trip to rural Portugal. By February this year, Pecknold felt lost with the album as he hadn’t yet written lyrics he felt comfortable with. It wasn’t until June, when he started taking day-long drives during lockdown, that he found the inspiration for the lyrics he’s been searching for over the last two years.

Hailing from Seattle, Fleet Foxes formed in 2006 and released their self-titled debut record two years later, which was followed by 2011’s Grammy nominated Helplessness Blues. Their third record, Crack-Up, followed in 2017.

Also on the show... a whole host of quality radio items including 'Breakfast Blend' - three tracks that make a great sonic blend - plus another instalment of Sunday Glove Songs.

You can take part in The Chain, choosing a track for our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
