OK Go - Needing/Getting - Official Video (by OkGo)

The new music video from OK Go, made in partnership with Chevrolet. OK Go set up over 1000 instruments over two miles of desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the instruments, and the band recorded this version of Needing/Getting, singing as they played the instrument array with the car. The video took 4 months of preparation and 4 days of shooting and recording. There are no ringers or stand-ins; Damian took stunt driving lessons. Each piano had the lowest octaves tuned to the same note so that they’d play the right note no matter where they were struck.

At this point I don’t even think of OK Go as a band but rather a group of people with kind of OK music designed to crank out really cool music video ideas and I’m cool with that I have plenty of good music to listen to otherwise and this fucking rules

I like the song too, what an awesome video
