OK Go releases "Back From Kathmandu" video

OK Go's viral videos are quite honestly the stuff of legendary. After their last video for "White Knuckles" which featured a bunch of trained rescue dogs doing awesome tricks I wondered how they could top themselves. In their video for "Back From Kathmandu", the band parades through the streets of Los Angeles with friends, fans, musicians, and the randomly intrigued in tow. Spelling out OK Go with their parade route. Marching 8.5 miles has never been quite so cool. Especially when you add the completely delightful assortment of instruments (I swear I spotted at least two accordions), glow in the dark awesomeness, and the 100 people large marching band.

Watch: OK Go - "White Knuckles"

OK Go have always produce ridiculously awesome music videos for their songs like the treadmill choreography of "Here It Goes Again" or the two different versions of "This Too Shall Pass" (one with a marching band, the other a crazy multi-step mouse-trap like machine) but their latest video for "White Knuckles" takes the cake. Featuring swivel chair choreography, a ridiculous amount of stacking cups, and a buttload of trained rescue dogs, the video definitely goes down as one of the best and cutest video the band has released to date. And if the awesome video isn't enough to make you go "Awwww", the band will also donate a portion of the video sale proceeds to the ASPCA. It's nice to see that band's split with Capitol hasn't hindered their video-making. Enjoy "White Knuckles"

OK Go - Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky (2010)

Remember OK Go? The Los Angeles based Chicago four-piece known mostly for their treadmill choreography in the "Here It Goes Again" video released their third album Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky this January.

The album fuses the jangly pop rock they're best known for with elements of dance pop, electronica, and even folksy acoustics("Last Leaf"). Tracks "I Want You So Bad I Can't Breathe" and "End Love" even contain echoes of disco. The album marks a change in direction for the band towards a more experimental/psychedelic vibe but still manages to contain vestiges of the band's previous sound. Fans might be a bit surprised at first but should find the album an overall good listening experience that strangely manages to fit a variety of genre influences into a cohesive work of art.

The band has decided to part ways with major label EMI and create their own operation by the name of Paracadute. As a result, the new label will be re-releasing Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky this upcoming April. Enjoy this video for album track and projected third single "This Too Shall Pass" here:
