Rockers OK Go release first single from Upcoming Album

Music Review | 23rd Jan, 2025 Ok Go

GRAMMY-Award-winning rock band OK Go have unveiled their brand new single, A Stone Only Rolls Downhill, the first single off the band's forthcoming fifth studio album And the Adjacent Possible, which will arrive later this year.

Adding to OK Go's vast catalog of ground-breaking music videos – they've danced on treadmills and with dogs; in time-lapse and slow motion; in zero-gravity, Rube Goldberg machines, and Super Bowl commercials – the clip for A Stone Only Rolls Downhill features 64 videos on 64 phones laid out as a moving mosaic!

The band did more than a thousand takes over the course of eight days, and the final video crams over two hours and twenty minutes of single-take clips into one frame. Once again directed by front-man Damian Kulash, this time in collaboration with Chris Buongiorno (Star Wars: Skeleton Crew), the clip showcases the band's unbridled creativity and signature DIY aesthetic, while exploring the song's lyrical take on modern split screen life.

It's a tough time to be optimistic. Getting through life requires some faith along the lines of the famous MLK quote: The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.

But looking at the world unfurling before me, and especially before my children, it's hard to find that kind of faith. What do we tell them? That's what this song is about: trying to be honest but keeping your head up at the same time. - Damian Kulash (Front-man)
