Ex Hex<\/a>, the D.C. garage rock trio of Mary Timony, Betsy Wright and Laura Harris, rock out in the video for their latest single \u201cRainbow Shiner,\u201d off their latest album It\u2019s Real<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Directed by animator and cartoonist M. Wartella, the video brings the album art of It\u2019s Real<\/em> to life, painting over the band\u2019s leather jackets with bursts of rainbow scribbles and blown-up, chroma-keyed heads. \u201cI got to shine on\/Through all the black and blue\/I got from you\/It hits so hard with all the colors that there are,\u201d sings Wright through all the madness. It\u2019s a slightly goofy, very surrealist take on a punk rock jam, harkening back to the Crayola colors and DIY aesthetics of early MTV videos.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs artists, often our destructive tendencies come from the same place in our heads that creativity comes from, and that is what we aimed to capture in this psychedelic trip clip,\u201d said Wartella in a statement. \u201cWell, that and to rock your socks off! For real<\/em>!!!\u201d<\/p>\n

Ex Hex are currently on tour in North America and Europe in support of their album, with newly-announced shows in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Providence and more. Opening acts include Japanese Breakfast, Moaning, Feels, Eternal Summers and Belle & Sebastian. You can find the full list of tour dates here<\/a>; tickets for new shows go on sale April 5th at 10:00 a.m.<\/p>\n
