關於自我、生存與連結,在這危險的世界中,加拿大後龐團Ought的第三張專輯〈Room Inside the World〉保持著後龐冷異精神,旋律氛圍卻更加柔軟可人。
On Room Inside the World—Ought s third album and their first for Merge—growing up doesn t mean mellowing out so much as it means learning to pay attention, listening carefully and openly, staying somewhere long enough to really understand where you are. Recorded at Rare Book Room in Brooklyn with producer Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Silver Jews), Room Inside the World explores themes that have always concerned the band—identity, connection, survival in a precarious world—but with a bolder, more nuanced sound palette. Vibraphone, justly intonated synthesizers, drum machines, and a 70-piece choir suffuse the precise post-punk breakdowns that spangled Ought s first two albums, giving rise to an emotional complexity that pushes their characteristically taut sound to greater depths.
