Welsh indie heroes OK will release ‘Lego’, a blast of harmonic sunshine on a grey music scene, at a spectacular launch party at Cardiff’s Clwb Ifor Bach this Friday (February 11), featuring support from the excellent Toy Horses and Welsh language indie from Violas.
‘Lego’ showcases OK’s joyous power guitar-pop sound in just under three minutes. It excels in glistening guitar hooks, disco filling drum and bass sparring and heady, addictive vocal refrains that encapsulate a feeling of infatuation that’s part giddy, part searching for reassurance. ‘Just tell me if we could fit together /like lego.’ The single is backed by a live favourite, the delightful ‘Perfect World.’
‘Lego’ was recorded by Jordan Andrews at Ripe Fruit studios in Cardiff and mastered by Donal Whelan at Hafod. It is the first release from a growing pool of new songs, OK have been working on over the last year and the first to feature Oli Miles on guitar and Dave Powell on Drums. OK singer and guitarist Joe Paine said: ‘It was obvious straight away that Lego would be the first single. We were really happy with the way it sounded and are looking forward to people finally hearing it.’
New single ‘Lego’ is backed by a band produced video, filmed in the band’s own back room, and featuring hand made puppets gleefully re-enacting the ecstatic feeling OK generate when playing their new single live.
Doors open at 7.30pm and entry costs £3 pound, which also allows admission to the club night after the gig. OK intend to make return trips to various selected destinations in the UK throughout 2011.
