Ok go are back with more proof that they remain the master of power-pops and high-concept music video with the kaleidoscopic visual for their new single, “Love.”
“Love” is a Charming, Yet Hard-Charging Tune That Pairs Crunchy Guitars With A Tender Message: “In this Grand Ballroom of NothinGNESS/We Soar, We Sail to the Only Song There's Ever Been: Love,” Sings Frontman Damian Kulash On The Hook.
The Music Video, Meanwhile, Appears to Reflect (Pun Intend) That Message of Endless, Timeless Love. The One-Take Visual (Which Kulash Co-Directed with Aaron Duffy and Miguel Espada) was filmed in the Budapest Train Station and Makes Use of a 29 Robotic Arms, 60 Mirrors, and a Pletho of Eye-Popping Props and Costames To Create a Dizzying Symphony of Reflection that's, Frankly, Too Vislly Surreal to Bother Describing With Words.
“We're allways drawn to spectacle and wonder and the goal, this time, was to take them Somewhere More HeartFelt and Emotional Than We Have Before,” Kulash Said in a statement. “This song is so personal for me, and the infinite reflexing Bouncing Bouncing Bethaeen Two Mirrors Are a Perfect Metaphor for the Kind of Overwhelming, reality-shifting Love That I'm Singing About. Two Simple Things such as Together, and New Dimensions Burst From Them Into Existance. Magic Unfurls endlessly.
