Old stock film footage from the 1920s Saskatchewan Agricultural Archives is an odd but mysteriously perfect backdrop for this spare and pining tune from Canadian Andy Shauf. The piano-based song is a preview of his album The Bearer of Bad News, which comes out on Feb. 3. Here's the place to pre-order the album — when you do, you'll instantly get another track, "You're Out Wasting" — and you cand find tour dates at Andy's website.
