Top Tracks: OK Go – A Stone Only Rolls Downhill

We’ve not even escaped the clutches of January yet, but our award for best video of 2025 may as well be set in stone at this point. Such is the power of OK Go. Their creativity and determination when crafting enthralling, joyous, mind-boggling visuals is unmatched. They have this uncanny knack for taking an outside-the-box idea, one that seems simple at first glance, and then pushing it to an extreme that requires a level of patience and logistical effort that would drive most people mad. In the case of ‘A Stone Only Rolls Downhill’, the first single the band’s forthcoming fifth studio album And the Adjacent Possible, it takes the form of a mosaic of videos playing across multiple phone screens, each piece working in harmony toward the bigger picture. As it constantly builds in complexity, I’m left baffled as to how long it took them to even storyboard the whole affair, let alone recording the dozens of one-takes and ensuring they all lined up on time. When it comes to music videos, OK Go just operate on a higher plane of existence, and they deserve every accolade going for their boundless ingenuity.
