Premiering with New York Magazine’s Vulture, grunge-rock band Deerhoof has released their new music video for their single, “Exit Only.”
The song is a track off of the band’s recent album La Isla Bonita, which was recorded in the basement of Deerhoof’s guitarist. The video stars “Man of Steel” actor and Oscar nominee Michael Shannon as a man torturing another (Michael Shannon as well) with band’s music until finally Ed Rodriguez bursts through the walls and blasts the tormentor to a pool of blood. While the song is, of course, a headbanger, the video is definitely something to watch.
La Isla Bonita was released via Polyvinyl Records, and Deerhoof has an accompanying tour for the album that begins tonight on Nov. 11. The North American leg of the tour will run for about two weeks starting off in Chicago, Illinois and making its way up to Vancouver, British Colombia on Nov. 22. Deerhoof will also be conducting a Japanese leg of the tour starting in Tokyo on Dec. 2.
