A literally cut and paste video with all sorts of examples of what you can do with a scissor and scalpel without injuring anything but a few brain cells.
The Pixies may have figured out a good workflow for doing biz in the modern music world: Screw albums. Screw leaks. Just surprise release EPs with a music video or two — and timing that release right before a new leg of touring also ain't dumb. Offer the tracks as cheap downloads, plus a few reasonably priced bundles for the diehard fans.
The song itself is plays like "Subacultcha" 2.0, but with way more cowbell. And the video is appropriately evil and awesome.
Matthew Newman aka Mount Emult, director/animator/editor: It seems to me that the Pixies are interested in giving forward thinking newer video artists the chance to be creative on their own terms. I worked a lot with Charles on videos for his Grand Duchy project and then when videos were being considered for the new Pixies material he asked me to contribute. I got a few songs and picked out Blue Eyed Hexe. I think it fuckin rules and so i wanted to make a video for it. I collect imagery from all over and then I just sort of improvise on different themes and clues from the song eventually sculpting it into something that is free but also has some narrative elements to it. It is a dream come true to have a video for the Pixies to my name.
