OK Go’s latest concept video – one Chevy Sonic, two miles of desert and 1157 instruments

Screen shot from the beginning of "Needing/Getting" by OK Go.

OK Go, American rock band almost better known for their awesomely choreographed, one-shot music videos than for their music, have done it again. The quartet released the video for their latest, “Needing/Getting”, on February 5 and already, it’s seen more than 1 million hits on YouTube.

The video, according to the YouTube description, was created in partnership with American carmaker Chevrolet; it features one Chevy Sonic, heavily outfitted with boom mics and retractable pneumatic arms, and 1,157 musical instruments, including pianos and guitars, arrayed along a track in the desert outside Los Angeles. The retractable arms “play” the music, while the singer, who took stunt driving lessons to handle the car, provides the vocals.
