Watch Fleet Foxes’ New “Fool’s Errand” Video

Last night, Fleet Foxes shared a new song off their forthcoming album Crack-Up called “Fool’s Errand.” Now, they’ve shared a new music video for that track. Directed by Robin Pecknold’s brother, Sean Pecknold, the video was shot on 35 mm, and features art direction by Adi Goodrich. In it, there’s interpretive dancing, nature imagery, and, at the end, a wolf. Watch it below; scroll down for Sean Pecknold’s statement on the visual. The Pecknold brothers previously collaborated on the videos for Helplessness Blues’ “Grown Ocean” and “The Shrine/An Argument,” as well as the Crack-Up album trailer.

Crack-Up arrives June 16 via Nonesuch. In addition to “Fool’s Errand,” the group have released the record’s excellent “Third of May / Ōdaigahara.” Read “Robin Pecknold Talks New Fleet Foxes Album and Going Back to School” over on the Pitch.

Sean Pecknold:

“Fool’s Errand” couldn’t have been shot on anything but 35mm film. The timeline was tight, but shooting on film made us focus and shoot only what we absolutely needed for the edit. There is still nothing like the look of film and it matches the sonic quality of the Foxes music quite well.
