OK Go came up with a collection of demos so strong they grabbed the attention of super-producer Tore Johansson, the hugely sought-after man behind Franz Ferdinand’s debut album and the Cardigans’ hits.

Tore’s first words are gruff. . “You will go into a room together and you will rock.”

And rock they did. The result is Oh No, an album that absolutely explodes out of the speakers. OK Go has tightened the screws and trimmed the fat, delivering a stripped-down, revved-up forty-two minutes of wild, propulsive rock and roll. It’s a worthy follow-up to their 2002 debut, which established OK Go as expert craftsmen of intelligent, ultra-catchy rock songs.

There’s a rougher grit to Oh No.

But that energy doesn’t obscure the wit, melody, and unabashed joy that brought the band this far. “A Good Idea at the Time” delivers a swaggering, line-for-line |response to the Stones classic, “Sympathy for the Devil,” transforming those famous “ooh-oohs” into tortured little taunts. Right on its heels is “Oh Lately It’s So Quiet,” a beautifully delicate – and unstoppably sexy – ghost story. Just a few songs later, we’re taken somewhere else, slinking across the dance floor to the sleazy disco-era Clash beat of “A Million Ways."

“We wanted to make an album that sounds like our band, and not a heady, self-conscious studio project,” says lead singer Damian Kulash. “

The band’s energy doesn’t stop at the edge of the stage or the end of the disc. they’re coming.

Damian Kulash: Vocals, Guitar
