The bar for an OK Go video is set so impossibly high now that a video which utilizes 215 loaves of bread and laser-toasting technology can easily be viewed as a disappointment, which would be a shame. "Last Leaf" is an understated lo-fi acoustic track and the stop-motion animated video plays to that underlying nature, depicting a melancholic and autumnal tale. The twist is that all the animations are built upon drawings etched with a laser on slices of toast. And, for those concerned: No fresh bread was harmed, only loaves past their sell-by date. --> watch "Last Leaf"
