Getting Our Earful of the OK Go

We've spent the past few days holed up in our apartment with a nasty sore throat, killing the time by catching up on tunes from the band OK Go. The band's recent album "Oh No" was produced by Tore Johansson, the same Swedish producer behind Franz Ferdinand and the Cardigans. The OK Go have their own raw, energetic sound, but they share that same crispy, tightly-wound sound of not only Franz Ferdinand but a number of power pop-rock acts to emerge from the U.K. in the past couple of years, though OK Go is American (from Chicago, no less). But OK Go seem to have a lot more sizzle and power behind the pop veneer. Their tunes are catchier, heavier, fuller -- we can only imagine how Ok Go must sound when they take the stage. Would to see 'em. (Tip of the Kangol to Jess E. for tip.)
