Ought – Sun Coming Down

8

In the wave of post-punk revival that highlights this time of misinformation and at the same time of clear certainty, Ought is making us think about the mundane day-to-day, where our life is sucked into the vacuum of social networks. The band displays a synergy that easily expresses the personal reality of its elements and many of us in society. The lazy rhythmic repetition, noisy guitars capable of torturing ears and carelessness in Tim Darcy’s voice, perfectly complement a unique and conscious language. “Beautiful Blue Sky” demystifies the intention of the band, it’s a real bucket of cold water over the apathetic elements of society “Warplane / Condo / New development / I feel alright (…) beautiful weather today / How’s the church? How’s the job?”. Confronted by reality, we ignore it for the sake of happiness, because while the world’s problems are deep in the navel of mankind, all remains intact.
