The track is taken from their sixth album, 'As If', which came out in October. The video was made by Casper Kelly, creator of Adult Swim’s viral video Too Many Cooks. Discussing the clip, which you can check out below, Kelly said:
"Ooo started from a feeling of a relationship teetering on the edge of breaking up or going to the next level, combined with an instrumental section in the middle with echoey sounds that evoked photon torpedoes in science fiction battles. I decided to combine the two. I also liked the idea of combining the feeling of the Star Wars cantina bar with a college mixer.
I tried to make it not too story oriented but I bit more abstract - I wanted a lot of the details of what happened between the Captain and the green woman implied or submerged. Lastly, I love combining repeating visual movements with the repetition in the wonderful chorus - hence the ship getting rocked by torpedoes and people scrambling in time with the beat. It was such a thrill to shoot. I wish I could live in the world of this video.”
!!! have recently revealed that they will be their own support act for their upcoming US tour. The band will appear as Stereolad, which is them covering Stereolab.
