OK GO RELEASE BELOVED HANDBELL VERSIONS OF “RETURN” AND “SHOOTING THE MOON” AVAILABLE NOW

Today, GRAMMY Award-winning rock band OK Go have announced the releases of their songs “Return” and “Shooting the Moon” performed on handbells. Listen HERE and watch the never-before-seen video for “Return” HERE.  The song “Return” was originally released on the band’s self-titled debut record from 2002, OK Go, while “Shooting the Moon” was originally featured on the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack and then released on the record, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky (Extra Nice Edition) from 2010. These arrangements celebrate the band’s unique live show experience: you never know what will happen at an OK Go show, except that it will be extraordinary and there will be lots of confetti.

Damian Kulash says: “Handbells are among the only instruments that can’t really be played by a single person. They require an ensemble, and I love that. I love that they’re definitionally communal: they’re not about personal expression, they’re about cooperation and losing yourself in the larger whole, like a singer melting into a choir. They were one of the first instruments I ever played, thanks to my first grade music teacher, and I’ve always been enamored of them: their stately, clear beauty, their stark simplicity. To me, their holiness comes not from their religious overtones but from the purity of their sound and the collaboration in making it.”

The band’s critically acclaimed fourth studio album, Hungry Ghosts, also celebrates its 12th anniversary and, after a long period out of print, is now once again available on vinyl.

OK Go also released Oh No (Extra Nice Edition) on August 28th in celebration of that album’s 21st anniversary and its RIAA Gold Certification. Listen to Oh No (Extra Nice Edition) HERE. Their iconic “Here It Goes Again” treadmill video is also celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and has gone 2x Platinum. Additionally, for the first time ever, OK Go’s entire catalog is available on vinyl directly from the band, including the two titles above. Find all products HERE.
