Ought - Sun Coming Down

New Ought record!

More Than Any Other Day was one of my favourites of last year, definitely top ten for 2014. So obviously I was waiting for the follow-up with bated breath. It’s hard to express just how much I was looking forward to this one.

And it didn’t disappoint! Not at all. I loved it the whole way through. I honestly couldn’t tell you which of the two records I like better. At least not yet.

Ought does punk rock with such verve and dynamism that it’s tempting to give it its own genre name. Tim Darcy’s vocals are somewhere between Jonathan Richman drawl and David Byrne bark, and the instrumentation is sharp and noisy but with an element of welcoming warmth. This music just makes me happy.

PLEASE listen to it. Streaming via YouTube below.

Highlights: Passionate Turn • Beautiful Blue Sky • Celebration
