In celebration of the autumnal equinox, Seattle’s Fleet Foxes will be releasing a surprise fourth album Shore tomorrow, September 22, alongside an accompanying film. It’s their first studio album since 2017’s Crack-Up, which arrived after their six year hiatus.

At 6:31 a.m. PT—also known as 13:31 universal coordinated time, as well as the autumnal equinox—the band will share Shore. The film is a 55-minute super 16mm art film directed by Kersti Jan Werdal. This is not the first time Fleet Foxes have put out a film; in 2018, there was the short for “If You Need to, Keep Time on Me,” directed by Ryan Heffington. Watch that below, and set your alarms for 13:31.
