Despite his occasional worldly travelling schedule, John K. Samson is a prairie boy at heart, as the Weakerthans frontman's latest video clip for Provincial track "Longitudinal Centre" proves.

The video captures a number of mid-country scenes, from long, empty Manitoba highway shots, to slightly snow-touched farm pastures and broken-down barns. Though not exactly landlocked, there's a short scene of Samson hanging out near a lake littered with rusted boats, with the driving though melancholic rock number finding him pointing out how "the Atlantic and the Pacific are the very same far away."

Check out the video for "Longitudinal Centre" below.

Provincial is out now on Epitaph.
