Bill Callahan premiers new video on Friday Night Somewhere

-

Bill Callahan , the artist sometimes known as Smog, has premiered the new animated video for track ‘America!’ on trippy internet talk show Friday Night Somewhere in time for Independence Day. Psychedelic all-American images glide slowly across the screen whilst Callahan’s laid-back vocals croon over slick guitar solos, and a groovy mid-tempo drum beat. Callahan’s label Drag City announced the premier on their website, saying:

“Again and again, AMERICA! Yeah, that special weekend is upon us. In ever-patriotic style, Colonel Bill Callahan got something special for all y’all Drag City troopers: the new video for Apocalypse center-piece, “America!” Timing is everything, ain’t it? Hell yes! That is exactly what timing is, everything. So for just a few little minutes, put down your damn bottle rockets and strip off your Uncle Sam mask so’s you can fully revel in the eye-popping mini-drama this profusely animated beauty detonates onto your screen. “America!” is one tune that will not be misappropriated; take it at straight-up face fuckin’ value as a new type of national anthem!”
