First Collection 20062009 spans the early days of Fleet Foxes' career, including the self-titled debut album, plus the Sun Giant EP, The Fleet Foxes EP (formerly a self-titled, very limited-edition, self-released EP), and B-sides & Rarities.

In addition to its musical offerings, the collection features a 32-page booklet including show flyers, lyrics and artwork from band's early history.
Fleet Foxes' debut album made a tremendous impact on the international musical scene, topping numerous "best of" lists, including Rolling Stone's 100 Best Albums of the 2000's and Pitchfork's 50 Best Albums of 2008, and earned the band Uncut's inaugural Music Award Prize. Fleet Foxes is certified Gold in North America and Platinum in both the UK and Australia.
Fleet Foxes' most recent release was the critically acclaimed full-length, Crack-Up, released June 2017.
"The band's country, folk and West Coast pop songs and storyteller lyricswhich acted like a close-harmony love letter in musical form to a pastoral American idyll that possibly never existedarrived as if from another era, triggering nostalgic swoons in critics and end-of-year top spots." - Sunday Times (London)
"A decade on it's fascinating to observe the evolution of their sound. That first LP sounded other-worldly at the time. It sounded like nothing else. Listening afresh, what's striking is the looseness of the playing. The songs are fragile. Everything is at the service of the voices, and the singing is magical. The sound of the Fleet Foxes blossomed over a short period. It wasn't an accident. They got there by embracing timelessness." - Uncut
"The songs are strong, hinting at future shapeshifting abilities. Full sonic prestidigitation, that wonder of voices magnified by reverb, would be next." - Mojo
"The music is invariably wonderful. Their pristine eponymous debut remains unimpeachable 10 years on." - Record Collector
