[Free US Shipping & Download, Poster, 180 gram audiophile vinyl] Ought exploded in 2014 with one of the leading records of the year, called “too witty for punk, too industrial for art-rock” by CoS. Now we rejoice in their second LP! Pound for pound one of the best of 2015 so far, with nods to no-wave and early indie rock. Release Sept. 18th.

Tight, Twitchy, and Economical

Meet Ought, Montreal’s answer to Parquet Courts

Listen to single Men for Miles here. Propulsive, driving, off-center, but somehow balanced and unhurried. Ought is known as Canada’s answer to Parquet Courts for a very good reason. Their intensity is absolutely irresistible.

“Sun Coming Down is a feverish and immersive record, its intricate guitar-tangles and acerbic bleats calling back to an earlier era of post-punk.” - Stereogum

Ought’s sound is driven by guitar, and fuzzed out keys that sometimes sounds more like a guitar. The rhythm section is understated and unfussy, and pummels throughout the record.

“Sun Coming Down came from...

a burst of energy after an utterly wild and wonderful 2014. written, recorded, and actualized amidst joy and turbulence.” - Ought

Ought - Sun Coming Down Tracks and Video

Sun's Coming Down Live Video

Sun Coming Down confirms the distinctive vitality and purposive naturalism of this band; Ought resists facile primitivism and overhyped dynamics in equal measure, keeping things hermetic but never airless, ascetic but never dispassionate, literate but never prolix.

The band's steady and subtle charms don't make them the cool kids or the iconoclastic freaks - just a satisfyingly unrefined and substantive rock band that eschews indulgence or aesthetic bandwagoneering to seek a humble, thoughtful corner from which to articulate a position within and contribute meaningfully to a 40-year continuum of indie, punk and DIY tradition.
