Fleet Foxes have shared a new cover of Elliott Smith’s New Moon song “Angel in the Snow.” Robin Pecknold recorded the cover for the soundtrack to the new Christmas comedy film Oh. What. Fun. Listen to the track below.
In a press statement, Pecknold said “‘Angel in the Snow’ has always been one of my favorite songs by Elliott, one I’d always listen to around the holidays, so it was a huge joy to make this for such a sweet film. It wasn’t even my idea! Took me back to handing out ‘RIP Elliott’ flyers at my high school graduation in 2004. Elliott Smith forever.”

It includes Sharon Van Etten’s recent cover of the Pretenders’ “2000 Miles,” along with contributions from Weyes Blood, St. Vincent, Gwen Stefani, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, and others.
