Bill Callahan’s “America!” may be the least genuine act of patriotism in music for a while, but nevertheless he has gone and released the video ahead on the nation’s birthday this coming Monday. The video is animated and featires an empty pair of cowboy boots walking across America and sending lots of postcards. The empty cowboy boots could be yet more comment on the country, or possibly Callahan himself.
The video premiered on Friday Night Somewhere and starts at 7 minutes and 30 seconds into the video posted below.
“America!” is taken from Bill Callahan’s latest album Apocalypse, which is out now on Drag City.
