Music Video Monday: “Strange New World” by Restless Townies

Wink at the absurdity of life with Music Video Monday

This week’s music video is a cross-country collaboration between a group of Memphis expats. Adam Poor, who now resides in Denver; Melissa Goodwin Shepherd in Arizona, Chris Weary in New York City, and friend of MVM Jeff Hulett play Western-tinged country/folk together as Restless Townies.

“Strange New World” is about “having to wink at the absurdity of all the tumbleweeds and grit life throws at you,” says Shepherd, who directed this lyric video for the song. Get ready for some high lonesome imagery of Monument Valley and the sweeping horizons of the West to put you on the right track for the week.
