kisol Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Pre-order on standard black or white vinyl here. On Room Inside the World—Ought’s third album and their first for Merge—growing up doesn’t mean mellowing out so much as it means learning to pay attention, listening carefully and openly, staying somewhere long enough to really understand where you are. Recorded at Rare Book Room in Brooklyn with producer Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Silver Jews), Room Inside the World explores themes that have always concerned the band—identity, connection, survival in a precarious world—but with a bolder, more nuanced sound palette. Vibraphone, justly intonated synthesizers, drum machines, and a 70-piece choir suffuse the precise post-punk breakdowns that spangled Ought’s first two albums, giving rise to an emotional complexity that pushes their characteristically taut sound to greater depths. https://www.youtube.com/embed/8I5PTIyAQrM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyFrosted Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Love this band, thanks for bringing this up. Not thrilled by the new song, though. Feels like absolutely everyone is going synth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazyslumber Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Always liked bits and pieces from this band but this album is solid. A great step forward without losing their sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromium Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I streamed the album today, after only listening to the first single once and avoiding the others. Gotta say the album surpassed my expectations based on that first single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
