New XX Merge video: Lou Barlow - "Goodnight Unknown"

This week we have the fourth installment of Converse's XX Merge "Take Away" video series. This one features Lou Barlow performing the song "Goodnight Unknown" from his forthcoming Merge release of the same name due out next Tuesday, October 6. The video features Barlow playing sitting next to a brick wall in Carrboro and at one point during the video, you can hear a train whistle. It's a fantastic performance which you can watch here.

You can stream Goodnight Unknown for a limited time via NPR. Check out Lou Barlow's upcoming tour dates after the break.
