WATCH: The Black Keys Have ‘Gold On The Ceiling’

The Black Keys have released a new music video in support for their El Camino record, which was released last year via Nonesuch. The video is for the single, "Gold On The Ceiling."

The video takes shots of the band performing live in New York, and in the studio in Los Angeles. We also get snippets of other European cities, and shots of them getting ready to begin their performance. Scenes where their fans are seen hyped up for their performance also invade the video, which has that air of grandeur most bands get when they think they have reached the pinnacle of stardom. Hopefully the duo is mocking this grandeur, otherwise, the video holds no aesthete.

WATCH: OK Go Drives Away to “Needing/Getting” Situations

Ah, yes. OK Go has done it again. The stunt-hungry band does yet another obstacle-topping music video. This time around the guys got some help from the folks of Chevy motors, and added a whole other innovative level. Superbowl viewers this year caught a glimpse of the reel. Check out the music video in full below!

 

 

Directed by Brian L. Perkins, who lensed the marching band version of OK Go's "This Too Shall Pass" and Damian Kulash, Jr., the band's lead vocalist, "Needing/Getting" was shot in the desert outside Los Angeles. A Chevy Sonic was outfitted with retractable pneumatic arms designed to play the 1,000+ instruments that OK Go set up along the two-mile course. The video took four months of preparation and four days to shoot.  There are no ringers or stand-ins - Damian took stunt-driving lessons.  For behind-the-scenes footage, visit Here.
