The Best Indie Songs of 2014 - OK Go

OK Go I Won’t Let You Down (Oct’14) is funky like an alleyway sleeping hobos cheesy foreskin. Jackson 5 I Want You Back type funky. Or white funky really like Maroon 5 This Love. A quick intro and straight into the chorus and Turkey necks are contagious.

 

 

 

 

Any which ways it’s got a spritely rhythm and lashings of synths and pianer too. Tip top track all said, give it a crack and you'll be as happy as a pig in shit, this is world class. And the video, even by OK Go's high standards, is pretty fucking good.

“And she's got no tricks to try,

And she don't seem that much to mind”

That groove is the second single off the Chicago bands fourth album and fourth round of sweetness Hungry Ghosts (Oct’14). These cats have been trucking since 1998.

Shit you need to know:

OK Go’s latest album dug the vibes of 80’s pop like Prince, New Order and INXS.

Some critics find their albums a bit eclectic and hit or miss.

Still swingin? Then get on down to The Writings On TheWall, This Too Shall Pass or Here It Goes Again.
 

And talking about swinging here’s Michael Hutchence and INXS with Need You Tonight (1987).

The dude died with his prick in this hand...

...made some good tunes but...
