Praise for 'It's Real' (March 22nd, 2019 on Merge):
"Knottier and gnarlier than its predecessors... It, too, rips. One heavy guitar lick bulldozes into the next, as the instruments collide and bounce off each other rambunctiously." - 8/10, Uncut
"Hip-shaking, thrill-seeking glam moves, new-wave anthems, and whistle-able melodies." - **** MOJO
"The Washington DC trio's zeal for radio rock rifferama is infectious... Deliciously immoderate." - The Wire
"Slicker and snazzier and shinier, but still designed with destruction in mind." - The Quietus
"A playful new layer to Ex Hex’ ultra-distinctive sound... Don your glittery outfits and get ready to mosh." - **** NME
“’Making guitar music this boisterous and this exhilarating is actually a bit of an exact science.” - **** DIY
“Another marvel of radio-rock craftsmanship.” - Q
“It’s Real lays a path for working through painful moments and re-empowering one epic riff at a time.” — NPR
“Ex Hex mine the areas of arena rock that have been forgotten to pop history, pledging allegiance to echo, overdrive, phasers and harmony, the very things that powered the airwaves in the days before MTV.” — Pitchfork
