It marked the first time that a band has premiered a video within a Super Bowl Sunday pregame show.

The “Needing/Getting” video is the result of yet another innovative partnership that OK Go has forged to push the creative boundaries of music and video, venturing into such disparate realms as science, photography, dance and now – in a collaboration with Chevrolet – automotive territory. 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.

The band recorded this version of “Needing/Getting,” singing as they played the instrument array with the car, so it differs substantially from the version appearing on OK Go’s latest album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky, which debuted in the Top 40 of The Billboard 200. Each piano had the lowest 2.5 octaves tuned to the same note so that they’d play the right note no matter where they were struck. Two hundred and eighty-eight guitars, graciously provided by Gretsch along with 67 amps, were stripped down to two strings, each tuned the same, and to the appropriate note. In some cases, wood blocks were used as capos to get notes higher than could be tuned. The tubas were played by driving along a fire hose filled with air and the bass line in the solo is played by balloons blowing through accordion reeds with white mega-phone-like horns attached to them.  As the car pulled clips off the balloons, they blew.

This collaboration with Mastodon marks Biskup’s first foray into film/video work in nearly six years.

“Doing video for ‘Dry Bone Valley’ was a dream project,” says Biskup, who also designed a hoodie for Mastodon in the past. “The band’s aesthetic has always been interesting and inspiring to me and I think what I do aligns with their music. When I pitched my idea, it was very vague – like a stream-of-consciousness poem – more than a traditional treatment. They were on board from the start and willing to trust me and let me experiment. It let me follow the same kind of path that I go down when I work on improvised paintings and sculptures. I love working on film, but finding people who trust me enough to just let me do my thing is tricky, so I’m thrilled to venture back in with this project.”

“Tim is an old friend of ours and one of my favorite artists,” says Mastodon’s Brann Dailor about working with Biskup. “The opportunity to work with him was unique and very special for us.”

The “Dry Bone Valley” video is “basically about waking up to find yourself being chased by death and having to reckon with dying and what that actually means to you,” Biskup explains. “It’s a life/death metaphor where the girl in the video goes from hunted to hunter. There’s a whole lot more going on metaphorically, and the symbolism goes very deep and is very specific, but I’ll leave the rest up to interpretation.”
