For the past 25 years, under both the Smog moniker and under his own name, Bill Callahan has cultivated an indelible legacy as both a pioneer in the lo-fi movement, and a songwriting talent that’s developed into simply one of our country’s greatest. Offering voyeuristic glimpses into a meticulously constructed universe of disaffection and disorder, his “painfully intimate songs ping-ponging wildly through a scrapbook of childhood recollections, failed relationships, bizarre fetishes, and dashed hopes.” (AMG)

Shot on the U.S. leg of his 2011 tour, APOCALYPSE: A BILL CALLAHAN TOUR FILM is an impressionistic collection of live performances and scenes from the road. Filmmaker Hanly Banks explores the changing landscape through the windows of Bill's tour van through California, the midwest, and back to the Big Apple, in a psychedelic tapestry of footage from one of the most talked-about traveling acts of last summer.
