Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky

A few tracks into the latest effort, Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky” by Chicago based power pop quartet OK Go and I was reminded the line “I bet they won’t be expecting that” from the first song on their last album, “Oh No”. This is album is right out of left field, but not in a bad way, mind you. The first track “WTF?” is a wonderful fast paced dance-pop tune, as chaotic as it is fun. As the album progresses it calms down, but never feels like the band is trying to be something they are not. While it may be a departure from their previous body of work, it keeps enough of what they were to feel like they are still the same band.
