Room inside the world

"... Room... remains Ought's most beautiful - yes, beautiful - album to date. And see, you disgruntled record bros, empathy and beauty are what we need right now - well, OK".

"As the title hints, Montreal's post-punk scrappers present newly accommodating fronts for their third album. The harrowed angst of old hasn't been diluted, rather re-channelled with a full-blooded flexibility to reflect the multiple emotional wavelengths - from hardship to hope - of harsh times ... "I can't see where we're going," sings Darcy, his open-endedness a perfect fit for an album precision-pitched between angst and optimism, tension and release".

"Ought's third album, Room Inside the World, straightens out their sound. It offers a more refined and sophisticated new wave palette, redolent of the 1980s to an extreme, and it finds Darcy really singing-about isolation, tentative feelings, self-possession and lack thereof ... The power of Ought, and of many great artists, is an uncommon X-ray vision: to see things as they really are".
