Nonesuch is a US record label that was created in 1964 as a budget label for classical releases. It eventually expanded to include adventurous music from around the globe and world-premiere recordings of contemporary composers. Nonesuch has gone through various ownership changes over the years, including being acquired by Warner Communications in 1970 and becoming a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records in 2004.

Under the leadership of Jac Holzman, Nonesuch was established as a budget label for classical releases licensed from large record companies in Britain and France. Designed by Bill Harvey, the packaging emphasized affordability with releases marketed as "Recordings at the Price of a Quality Paperback."

In 1970, Nonesuch became part of Warner Communications (Kinney/WEA) and continued to release music under its own name along with other Elektra-based labels like Elektra and Asylum Records. The merger between Elektra and Atlantic labels in 2004 resulted in Nonesuch becoming a sub-label of Warner Bros. Records within the Warner Music Group.

Now on Nonesuch in Capacity Wallet and Folder. The second Fleet Foxes album full of sweet folk, baroque pop and free jazz that more than matches the greatness of their influences - Roy Harper, Smile era Brian Wilson and Crosby, Stills and Nash. Helplessness Blues was recorded over the course of a year at Avast recording, Bear Creek Studios, Dreamland Studios, and Reciprocal Recording. The album was mixed by Phil Ek and co-produced by Fleet Foxes and Ek. Helplessness Blues is a thoughtful, elegant record that retains a great deal of what people loved about the Foxes the first time around. It adds some surprises too. the jazz coda to The Shrine / An Argument shows off the Foxes's expansive ears; the faintly eastern lilt on songs such as Bedouin Dress or The Plains / Bitter Dancer keeps their template fresh. to the mesh of guitars and voices come zithers and Tibetan singing bowls, as well as something called a marxophone. Helplessness Blues is born out of a fraught gestation period, touched by doubt, uncertainty and the travails of growing older and finding your place. But it is also a thing of beauty, and as the blissful outro of its title-track or the breathless, exuberant surge of closer Grown Ocean demonstrate, at its core lies a tangible sense of wonder and hope.2LP - Heavyweight 140 Gram Double Vinyl Set.CD - Now on Nonesuch in Capacity Wallet and Folder.
