New Music Monday - Americana Crossover Style

Today's #NewMusicMonday features a pair of a pair of Americana artists traveling down new sonic roadways, broadening their reach and the impact of their music. First up we have guitar virtuoso Molly Tuttle with a cover of The National's "Fake Empire". The video features Tuttle playing against a project backdrop of psychedelic imagery and protest videos. In this way, she turns up the heat on the post-ironic torpor of the original and transforms the song into a subtly searing critique of apathy.

Like so many of her songs, this one is more abstrusely personal than broadly philosophical, filtered through her famously wry sense of humor.
