Speaking about the Fleet Foxes collaboration with Zane Lowe, Malone called Pecknold “a beautiful man.” He continued, “I didn’t quite know what to expect because I’m like, this guy’s a fucking genius. You know, don’t meet your heroes, you know what I mean? And he was the sweetest man in the universe!”
