This is a video of by a group called OK Go. I have no idea who the hell these guys are, but this is the best video I've seen in a long fucking time (I caught it on New York Noise a week ago). It must have cost next to nothing to make. It looks as though it was shot in a member's back yard with only one camera. The most impressive thing to me is that it was done all in one take. Naturally, I don't know how many takes it took to get the final result, but they had to remember all those damn dance routines, even if they had a director yelling instructions off camera (the credits list no director, so maybe not). The song, "A Million Ways," is also brilliant, one of the finest bits of pop I've heard in quite some time. And all this from a band signed to Capitol Records? A poor state of affairs for indie music, in my view.
Here's OK Go's website. It doesn't say much about who the hell they are, but I learned from AMG that they're from Chicago. How's that for journalistic excellence?
