Hungry Ghosts by OK Go
Hungry Ghosts is an album by OK Go, released in 2014. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “The Writing's On The Wall”, on 6 lists with a best position of #22.
Hungry Ghosts, OK Go's fourth studio album, came out on October 14, 2014 on the band's own Paracadute label, their first new record since Of the Blue Colour of the Sky in 2010. Dave Fridmann and Tony Hoffer produced it, and the band spent three years working on it at Fridmann's Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, New York.
It's the Chicago-born, Los Angeles-based band going full synth-pop: bright electronics and rubbery grooves, with Damian Kulash out front and Tim Nordwind, Dan Konopka and Andy Ross filling out the sound. The songs work as a loose concept album about the ups and downs of a relationship. And of course there were videos, one for each of the five singles. "The Writing's on the Wall" won Best Visual Effects at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, and "I Won't Let You Down" took Best Choreography the next year. The album charted at number 74 on the Billboard 200.
