Tweedy, the band that Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy formed with his son Spencer, have shared a new video for their Sukierae track “Low Key”, which was directed by “Parks and Recreation” star Nick Offerman (aka Ron Swanson). (Previously, Tweedy appeared in a  couple episodes of the show.) It was filmed in Chicago and features cameos from John Hodgman, Michael Shannon, Chance the Rapper, Conan O’Brien, Andy Richter, Mavis Staples, Steve Albini, Wilco’s Glenn Kotche, and more.

The video turns the ominous death of the record business into a tale that is actually entertaining. When record execs encourage the Tweedys to embrace the D.I.Y. approach of selling their album door-to-door, the band tries out a number of gimmicks. They report back with a sack of money, which is handed over to an unlikely industry overlord.
