For nearly 30 years, OK Go frontman Damian Kulash has prioritized a child-like sense of play and the “electric shock of discovery” over commercial metrics. While Ok Go (Kulash, Timothy Nordwind, Andy Ross, and Dan Konopka) has earned traditional accolades like a GRAMMY, they are equally celebrated for unusual achievements: testifying before Congress, launching a K-12 non-profit, and earning a spot in MoMA’s permanent collection.

Now, a decade after their last LP, the band is releasing their ambitious fifth studio album, And the Adjacent Possible. Mixed by longtime collaborator Dave Fridmann, the 12-track record is wildly eclectic and genre-dissolving, blending psychedelic rock, Zen-like meditations, and influences ranging from Phil Spector to Nile Rodgers.

Kulash’s lyrics balance his trademark cynicism with profound emotional shifts. The album tackles fatherhood from opposing angles—lamenting environmental inertia in “A Stone Only Rolls Downhill,” then pivoting to ecstasy in the soaring anthem “Love.” It even features a sardonic opening track addressing the modern digital algorithm.

True to form, the band accompanies the music with mind-boggling visuals. The music video for “A Stone Only Rolls Downhill” features a stunning moving mosaic of 64 synchronized phones, requiring over a thousand takes. Meanwhile, the video for “Love” utilizes dozens of robots executing mirror tricks in a Budapest train station.

Ultimately, OK Go remains fueled by creative freedom. As Kulash notes, the only place he wants to be in five years is “somewhere I couldn’t possibly predict today.”
