With a career that includes award-winning videos, New York Times op-eds, collaborations with pioneering dance companies and tech giants, animators and Muppets, and an experiment that encoded their music on actual strands of DNA, OK Go continues to fearlessly dream and build new worlds in a time when creative boundaries have all but dissolved. The band has been recognized for their achievements with 21 Cannes Lions, 12 CLIOs, 3 VMAs, 2 Webbys, The Smithsonian Ingenuity Award, and a Grammy.

LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS, L.A. EXES HAS ARRIVED. THE REFRESHINGLY CLEVER QUEER QUARTET (JENNY OWEN YOUNGS, SAM BARBERA, STEPH BARKER, RACHEL WHITE), TOGETHER WITH GRAMMY-NOMINATED PRODUCER JAKE SINCLAIR (FALL OUT BOY, PANIC! AT THE DISCO, WEEZER), BLENDS SIXTIES SONICS WITH A MODERN EDGE TO BRING YOU GOOD VIBES FOR DARK TIMES. THOUGH THEIR LYRICS ARE CHOCK FULL OF VULNERABILITY AND BITING WIT, THE EXES ALWAYS BRING THE PARTY. OPENING TRACK “SKINNY DIPPING” AND “TEMPORARY GOODBYE” HANG INTRICATE BEATLES-EQUE HARMONIES ON A FRAME OF JANGLY SURF POP, WHILE THE MORE CONTEMPLATIVE “WEST KEYS” AND “I GOT HALF A MIND” FIND THE BAND NEGOTIATING THE FINE LINE BETWEEN “I MISS YOU” AND “I HOPE YOU DIE.”
