White Knuckles - OK Go


Classic Head Bobber 

White Knuckles is a song that is almost impossible to not tap your foot to or bob your head to. OK Go has always been great at writing songs that have great beats, but this song sticks out because of it’s great solos and harmonies. The bass line is really smooth and gives a funk style to the song that teams up well with its subtle guitar parts and claps. The song also uses a lot silent moments in which we only hear a few instruments and it really make the rest of the marching theme really stand out. The words of the song and ideas of white knuckling through inevitable things is well emphasized with the harmonies and uniform beat. The song also has a huge amount of very ambient sounds that can really only heard with some high quality speakers of headphones, and they are noticeable with them, but for your average listen they will just help fill in the gaps of song to make a nice sounding environment that you’ll probably not even notice. When you need a pick me up and a fun song, I’d recommend this, sing along and enjoy that slow headbanging bass and drum.
