After 10 years, OK Go is back with their fifth studio album, And the Adjacent Possible. Lead- off track “Impulse Purchase” wastes no time, addressing us directly: “Will you lace up your shoes and come dancing with me?” This writer is there, fully fastened. The alt/indie/pop/rock band gives a masterclass in genre taffy—they stretch sound, twist conventions, and pull you right in. The antithesis of monotonous, each song is another ride at the carnival, completely distinct in its own fun. On “Love” they sing, “music’s invented again,” and by the close, OK Go has done just that.
