The one-year anniversary of Donald Trump taking office was over the weekend. To mark the occasion, The Nation released a music video for "Walk It Back" from their newest album Sleep Well Beast. The video shows grainy video clips of government figures giving speeches. In a statement to Stereogum, director Casey Reas said, "The video documents the performance and spectacle of governance. It captures the pomp and rituals of Congress and its vainglorious, televised culture." The Nation made headlines in September over a back and forth the band had with former President George W. Bush advisor Karl Rove. Rove was critical of the band using a quote attributed to him in "Walk It Back" because he denies that he ever said the quote. Watch the music video for "Walk It Back" down below.
