My Country



tUnE-yArDs again! Her latest video clip has been released for her track 'My Country', which the director  Mimi Cave says was inspired by the video to 'Bizness'. They are both quite similar, though this one seems a bit more oppressive as opposed to the abundant joy which was on display in 'Bizness'.

The clip also has a message: "In recent years, many arts programs in public schools have suffered major cuts in funding, so when it came time to make a video for the politically charged w h o k i l l track 'My Country', frontwoman Merrill Garbus and director Mimi Cave wanted to make something visceral that also raised awareness. "Merrill's voice tends to hit people pretty hard in the gut," Cave says. "All I can try to do is represent that visually." (There's also a Kickstarter campaign associated with the video that's trying to raise money for Rock Project.)" (via Pitchfork).
