I guess if you reference the food chain, Fleet Foxes are higher up than goats, so it should come as no surprise that the band shows no signs of fear when approached by a herd of them (or is it a pack of goats? I know it’s not a school of goats). I personally have a mild goat phobia. Always avoided them in petting zoos. I most certainly would not go head to head with one while playing the piano.
The Fleet Foxes tame the wild beasts with impeccable harmonies on “He Doesn’t Know Why.”
I’d love to hear the brainstorming session that birthed the video concept. “Let’s just sit in a room and play the song naturally,” one band member says. “Yeah, then we’ll let like 50 wild goats loose in the same room man,” says a slightly more stoned band member. The end result is below.

Thanks Nucco. I knew in my heart that herd just wasn’t right.
