Ought
With Flasher.
High Noon Saloon 701A E. Washington Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
Recently signed to the legendary Merge label, Montreal-based Ought’s DIY post-punk sound has matured on their latest record Room Inside the World. Alongside their droning guitars and rock-steady rhythm section, there’s now a huge vocal choir, synthesizers, and a fresh emotional depth in the lyrics, as in the single “These 3 Things.” Lead singer Tim Darcy’s David-Byrne-esque vocals are still the centerpiece. DIY punks Flasher open.
