OK Go Returns with Music Videos, Tour, and Innovative Album
With their innovative music videos, revolutionary album design, and engaging live performances, OK Go is set to deliver an unforgettable experience for their fans, showcasing their unique blend of catchy melodies, quirky visuals, and creative experimentation.
OK Go, the rock quartet known for their elaborate music videos, is returning to Chicago for their first tour in a decade, promoting their fifth album, "And the Adjacent Possible," at the Riviera Theatre on Friday. The band's DIY ethic has led to visually stunning videos, often featuring complex Rube Goldberg machines and other elaborate concepts, and their latest video, "Love," features robots and mirrors.
The band, consisting of singer Damian Kulash, bassist Tim Nordwind, drummer Dan Konopka, and guitarist Andy Ross, has a long history of creating innovative and engaging music videos. Their latest video, directed by Damian Kulash, features 29 robots and 60 mirrors, creating a dizzying effect that challenges the viewer's perception of reality. The video's concept is inspired by the idea of a "funhouse" and the illusion of infinity, and has already gained millions of views on YouTube.
OK Go's new album, "And the Adjacent Possible," features a revolutionary vinyl jacket design that transforms the act of opening an album into a moment of wonder and discovery. The gatefold cover features a three-dimensional pop-up structure with a red geodesic dome and a smaller green dome, creating an architectural marvel. The design reflects the thematic essence of the album, exploring interconnected possibilities, symmetry, and movement.
Fans can check out the new songs and confetti when OK Go plays at the Riviera Theatre on Friday, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the show starting at 7:30 p.m. The band's visual creative impulses have increased exponentially in complexity, and they are now focusing on their relationship with the audience on this tour, promising an exciting and engaging experience for their fans.
