!!! (Chk Chk Chk) have released their video for the track “Ooo” on Monday.
“Ooo” can be found on the band’s most recent album As If, along with “Freedom ‘15” and “Bam City.” Press described the track as “a melancholy love tale set to a modern day, disco house pulse.”
The video, created by Casper Kelly of Adult Swim’s “Too Many Cooks” video, takes place on a foreign planet with lots of aliens, showing how “dating woes are a universal issue.”
Of the video, Kelly said:
“Ooo” started from a feeling of a relationship teetering on the edge of breaking up or going to the next level, combined with an instrumental section in the middle with echoey sounds that evoked photon torpedoes in science fiction battles. I decided to combine the two. I also liked the idea of combining the feeling of the Star Wars cantina bar with a college mixer. I tried to make it not too story oriented but I bit more abstract – I wanted a lot of the details of what happened between the Captain and the green woman implied or submerged. Lastly, I love combining repeating visual movements with the repetition in the wonderful chorus – hence the ship getting rocked by torpedoes and people scrambling in time with the beat. It was such a thrill to shoot. I wish I could live in the world of this video.
And don’t forget the hologram of vocalist Nic Offer that dances throughout the entire video.
