Remember when indie-rock band Ok Go! broke into the public conscience, riding treadmills in a one-shot, choreographed (and oft-imitated) music video? Their creative streak continued with other impressive videos but their latest, for the song "This Too Shall Pass", off their new album "Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky", is another work of how'd-they-do-that art.
Taking a cue from the Mouse Trap board game of my youth, the band has surrounded themselves with various everyday items in a large warehouse or studio back lot to pull off one of the biggest cause and effect series pieces I've ever seen. I mean, if one piece of this massive sequence was even slightly out of place, none, of it would work! May favorite parts are the falling umbrellas and when the electric guitar with the spoons dangling from the neck spins around in a circle, hitting the glasses filled to different levels of water synched to specific tones in the song. Also, dropping a piano always looks cool!
Judging by the fact that this video already has over 5 million views, we might be a little late to the game but that doesn't cange the fact that it is ZONINO! I'm wondering though, does anyone really pay attention to the song during this video? Just asking...
