(Radio.com) Tweedy, the musical project of Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy and his son Spencer, has a new music video for "Low Key," from their just-released album Sukierae, and to borrow a word from video co-star John Hodgman (whom you might remember as the PC in the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials), the cast and crew is "bananas."

The clip, directed by Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson on that show),stars not only the Tweedys (including non-band member Sam Tweedy) and Hodgman, but also Boardwalk Empire's Michael Shannon in a hilarious turn assistant Stephen.

"Low Key" also includes appearances from Steve Albini, Chance the Rapper, Mavis Staples, Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter. Can you feel the Chicago love?

Easily the best moment? When the Tweedy's head to a costume store to try to fool their potential customers with perfect disguises. The irony of the clip is it does find a clever marketing plan for the new Tweedy album, particularly the concept it mocks.
