NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES BEGIN SEP 2
THIRD LP, ROOM INSIDE THE WORLD, OUT NOW VIA ROYAL MOUNTAIN RECORDS
“Room Inside The World works in contrasts, roughened art-rock and nuanced post-punk that takes its time rather than racing forward.” —Stereogum
“With Room Inside The World, Darcy and Ought solidify the ideas they’ve been working through since the band began.” —Bandcamp
“Ultimately, the band’s newfound sense of stability turns out to be a good look for them—and one that suggests the milk of human kindness does a body good.” —A.V. Club

At the centre of Ought’s third long-player is “Desire”, a song that Pitchfork says “towers over Room Inside The World like the album’s lighthouse.” Band members Tim Darcy, Tim Keen, Matt May, and Ben Stidworthy each individually reworked the track, and today, they’re presenting Four Desires on translucent purple cassette, shipping now from the Merge store. The EP can also be heard in full on your preferred digital music service along with “Desire (Euan’s Driving at Night Remix)”, a digital-only bonus track.

Tim Keen on the release:
“We thought it would be interesting to see how the four of us as individuals would come to a ‘remix’ (in the loosest possible terms) of our own work, if given a redo of the 1000s of tiny decisions and compromises inherent in collaboration. The only (self-imposed) requirement was that they all be the same length as the original ‘Desire’; if you have four sets of speakers, you probably don’t want to play them all at the same time, but we thought it would only be considerate to give you the option.”
Ought will be back in touring mode next month including appearances in Hamilton and Vancouver, and shows with Swearin’, Japanese Breakfast, Moaning, and more. A full list of dates can be found below, and yes, cassettes will be available at the merch table!
