Earlier this year, the fingerpicking guitar virtuoso William Tyler released the shatteringly lovely instrumental LP American Country, a sort of concept-album ode to the disappearing parts of American culture.

The collage-style clip blurs together images of America's deserts and roadways and ghost towns. Watch it below, via Rolling Stone.
