Background notes
Archive material and source history
Robin Black is a band from Seattle that started around 2005, led by singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold. Their self-titled debut album came out in 2008, with Pecknold's acoustic guitar and introspective lyrics drawing early attention. The group includes Michael Johnson on guitar and Sam Collins on drums, and they've worked with other musicians like Conor Oberst and John Vanderslice over time.
Their second album, 'Slaughterhouse,' arrived in 2010 and shifted toward a more experimental, electronic sound compared to their earlier folk style. A track from that album, 'Be Your God,' became a standout for fans, along with songs like 'Better Than You' and 'Candy Flip.' Pecknold's lyrics have sometimes sparked debate for their bluntness, and he's been open about personal struggles with depression and addiction, which have colored the band's narrative without defining their music entirely.
