More often than not, Chicago-born, L.A.-based OK Go’s increasingly creative music videos overshadow the music in them—which is unfortunate, because from one release to the next, the band seems keen on flipping musical expectations on their head while still keeping its alt-rock base intact. The quartet’s latest, Hungry Ghosts, for instance, is just as diverse as its predecessors, but on Ghosts, the band experiments with electronic elements that seem both otherworldly (“Another Set of Issues”) and straight from the ’80s (“Obsession,” “I Won’t Let You Down”). It’s not surprising to hear so much innovation from OK Go, but it is impressive how many tricks the band still has up its sleeve. With White Arrows.
