Cover Details
Fleet Foxes' rendition of 'Angel in the Snow,' originally from Elliott Smith's 2007 album New Moon, features Robin Pecknold's vocals and arrangement. Pecknold shared in a statement: “‘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.”
