Track of the Day | OK Go – A Stone Only Rolls Downhill

OK Go have released their new single ‘A Stone Only Rolls Downhill’.

The track is the first single taken from the band’s fifth album ‘And the Adjacent Possible’.

Speaking of the single, frontman Damian Kulash said: “It’s a tough time to be optimistic. Getting through life requires some faith along the lines of the famous MLK quote: ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice, but looking at the world unfurling before me, and especially before my children, it’s hard to find that kind of faith. What do we tell them? That’s what this song is about: trying to be honest but keeping your head up at the same time.”

In true OK Go style, the track comes with a innovative music video featuring 64 videos on 64 phones laid out as a moving mosaic, with over 1,000 takes filmed over 8 days.

Marking their first new music in a decade, ‘A Stone Only Rolls Downhill’ infuses the band’s indie rock sound with a subtle psychedelic edge, delivering honest lyrics about perseverance and adapting when optimism feels out of reach.
