Video: Against Me! Enlists Natasha Lyonne And Ione Skye For Latest Clip

We are eagerly awaiting the new Against Me! album, Shape Shift With Me. They are one of the best live bands out there, and Laura Jane Grace writes absolute killer hooks with lyrics that reach right into your chest and punch you in the heart (sometimes in a good way, sometimes in a painful way). Did we also mention we're proud to claim her as a relatively new denizen of Chicago?

Anyway, the new video for "333," the latest single from the new album, was directed by Ione Skye (!) and features a slowly dissolving Natasha Lyonne in an off-kilter suburban melodrama from what feels like a parallel time. It's cool to watch, but of course the real star is the song—another impeccable blast of powerful sing-along punk that we think is a love song, but can't quite tell.

And that's O.K., we're cool with just letting the whole thing wash over us.
