Ok Go - [2010] Of The Blue Color of the Sky

sound:Indie/New Age

Is Ok Go trading in their delightfully indie pop-rock feel for a more futuristic psychedelic-rock groove and Prince [as in the artist formerly known as] like vocal styling? Perhaps for once i will leave you to decide. Personally i found the record entertaining instead of the deafening drone of sickeningly catchy singles coming out of more popular indie acts right now. Tell me what you guys think, you diggin' it or are you not impressed by the new approach?

Im going to start this post by saying i'm not a huge fan of the new album, and truly half of A Fever To Tell has to catch me on a good day unless im listening to Maps because... well its Maps . That being said i fucking love this EP. It's just five straight songs that are damn catchy, each boasting their own version of scratchy guitars and punchy vocals. This EP commands your attention from foot tapping Rockers to Swallow to the steady drumbeat of Kiss Kiss. People like to get lazy and lump them together with Pretty Girls Make Graves because they're both women fronted. This is the only complete record by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs that can hang with PGMG, and that's high praise on this blog. It's good stuff, check it out.

Earlier in the year this album was circulating around in teaser form, and basically i just waited it out until i found a complete record to give and talk about. Honestly it's like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the White Stripes got together and made a record. It's pretty enjoyable to say the least. Love the song, I Know What I Am.
