Electric Callboy Still Owns the Scene with Elevator Operator

In this episode of The Heavy Metal Therapist Reacts, John checks out Elevator Operator, the latest single and video from Electric Callboy. He hasn’t heard the song or seen the video yet, but within seconds, it’s clear they’re still one of the best bands doing it right now.

It’s got the synths. It’s got the breakdowns. It’s got a guy worshipping an elevator like it’s a god. And weirdly enough, it still manages to land a meaningful message underneath all the madness.

Classic Electric Callboy Energy from the First Note

The second it kicks off, you know it’s them. Clean vocals, neon lighting, and just enough chaos to make you laugh while still nodding your head. This is the kind of video you can’t look away from.

They’ve got the usual mix dialed in perfectly—pop melodies, electronic production, and full-on metal energy. John points out how tight the musicianship is underneath all the silliness. These guys know exactly what they’re doing.

And that beatdown section? Hits hard. No surprise there.

Joy Is Contagious. So Are the People Around You.

After sitting with the lyrics, John breaks it down like this:

"This track is basically showing how much your surroundings impact your mindset. You hang around people who are joyful, who get excited about the little things, and you start to feel it too."

The whole video follows that idea. At the beginning, everyone’s just watching this weird elevator guy do his thing. But slowly, they get pulled into it. By the end, they’re all dancing, smiling, and letting go.

The joy spreads, not because anyone forced it, but because one guy lived it fully.

Therapist Breakdown: Why It Actually Hits Deeper Than You’d Think

It’s easy to write off a video like this as just comedy or chaos, but there’s something underneath it that matters. As a therapist, John highlights how important it is to be intentional about who you let into your life.

You’re shaped by the people around you. If they’re heavy all the time, you feel that. If they tear you down, you shrink. But if they build you up, laugh at dumb stuff, and get hyped about life? That shifts your entire mindset.

The people you let close are either going to drain you or remind you how to come alive. Elevator Operator makes that point in the most absurd and brilliant way possible.
