In November, !!! released a video for Ooo, which is lifted from their most recent album ‘As If’ and was directed by Casper Kelly, creator of Adult Swim’s viral sensation ‘Too Many Cooks‘ video. !!! have teamed up again with Kelly for another comical video, this time for the song Every Little Bit Counts. Watch it over at Funny Or Die.
From Casper Kelly: “‘Every Little Bit Counts’ excited me because it is such a fun, fun song and tonally different from the weirder, darker stuff I usually do. The basic idea is there’s a stuffy world, in this case the news, and Nic comes in like Willie Wonka or the Cat in the Hat and has a bit of fun with it. Crazily and coincidentally, while shooting on the set Nic told me he once did a thing like this in real life – he was walking somewhere and there was a news crew interviewing a man opposed to gay marriage, and Nic popped in and said something in the mic. If someone by chance taped that newscast he’d love a copy.”
You can also watch Ooo via YouTube below.
Combining punk abandon and tightly-coiled dance music has always been bonded into the band’s DNA. It’s this core plus their growth and mastery of songwriting that has seen them outlive the mid-2000s ‘indie/dance punk’ tag and has allowed them to consistently grow lyrically and sonically from album to album. As If is their most consummate collection of songs yet.
