Aural Only: OK Go

If any of you bothered to read our review of OK Go‘s latest album, you may recall several references to a certain purple individual. These comparisons couldn’t be more evident on the group’s latest single “White Knuckles”. It’s kind of like Purple Rain-era Prince having a raucous threesome with Oracular Spectacular-era MGMT, resulting in a perfect blend of the old and the new.

Unfortunately, the band’s reputation for zany viral videos takes precedence over everything else. The song fades into the background in their latest clip, playing second fiddle to a collection of well-trained puppies. One should avoid the urge to dismiss this as another treadmill-esque gimmick. The song is actually quite good.
