It’s taken us a while to actually register that there is a new Ought album to drop in September, Sun Coming Down. But its never too late to share good news, especially when the first track to drop is as good as the ecstatically hypnotic beast that is ‘Beautiful Blue Sky’, a rather defiant take on the mundaneness of modern life where development for development’s sake and rampant impulsive consumerism is all the rage. There’s more than a nod to Talking Heads, Television and even Women here but the powerful delivery by guitarist/vocalist Tim Darcy and disciplined metronomic rhythm see Ought well and truly own their mantra. You can find the lyrics here. I was lucky enough to see them at ATP Iceland, where the new song went down a fuckin’ treat. Sun Coming Down sees release on September 18 on Constellation.
