KEXP does it again! there are so many bands that constantly see around but never get around to listening to. then i see that they've done a KEXP session and i know for a fact that the session will bring out the best in them. guess i'll be getting Ought's records now. Another solid session! thanks to Cheryl for being awesome as alvvays and the rest of the team for engineering/filming these
Yes.... As in exactly the same. - Funny how he didn't sound like that on the first Ought EP. (More like Dream Pop vocals). Someone must have given him a Fall cd and told him they were obscure. (sheesh)
@@eugenekassakov3402 naw, not a ripoff, just influenced. there's joy division, wire, swell maps, damned, buzzcocks, talking heads, fall, etc in here. oh wait, I forgot Elvis Costello (the weather song)
I love the KEXP videos. Especially with Cheryl hosting. Great band. Remind me of The Rikters out of Chicago. Ought's singer has a freakishly long neck.
This band is excellent! However, I am having trouble reading the drummers shirt, perhaps for the next album the drummer could get a shirt with larger text.
i was at the polish show - age of 15 by then - and it felt like a concert experience of a lifetime, that one performance which completely changes your perception of what music is about. i havent really recovered from that i wont be able to feel it all over again, being more of a fully shaped person
Thanks Cheryl and all the team for the wonderful guests you get on this studio. Viet Cong, Algiers and Ought performances were all amazing. Any plans to do a session with Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeuld ?!
+Yathera Hm, I've always thought of Back and Forth as very sentimental though. Beautiful Blue Sky sounds more critical of casual social pleasantries to me. I agree with the similarities in sound though, both are amazing bands!
I think in terms of overall content you are completely right. What I meant was the relationship between the two song titles and the role they play within their own songs. Ought is critical while D-plan is nostalgic, but I think they're both reacting to the absurdities of life. Ought looks to the sky for and d-plan dances away their existential panic. Even more similarities in "Beautiful Blue Sky" is the "I'm no longer afraid to dance tonight" line. It reminds me of the chorus of "back and forth". So, there overall worldviews may be very different, but their conclusion is similar.
I believe Pitchfork initially introduced me to these guys. But I've been listening to them more since this session. I would say in a brief sum up 'Talking Heads meets the Post Punk genre' . SUPER creative
by the second song, i'm beginning to understand why #beck won that grammy under such scrutiny, and how this could be some sort of neo-americana revival since #thenational went elsewhere after a few albums, distortion with age
Yeah it’s a fucking shame. They’re took down their website and on the merge records website they aren’t on current artists anymore. I think dude just wants to make solo music now
No, more the way of singing - the insrumentals dont't sound alike though. You're right there. Thats the reason I talked about a similiar "vibe" I get (which is a very personal/subjektive thing).
+Gustavo Lopes I talked to them just before they played kexp. They were pretty exhausted from touring the better part of the last two years, plus releasing a couple albums on top of that.
I know that ought is a semi-modal verb. But the thing I'm asking about is what sort of concept do native speakers of English have in their minds when they see the word OUGHT. What is the MEANING of the word? Does it really have any meaning at all just like the words apple or computer do? I just want to know ^^
Where the 2024 listeners at?? Unforgettable imo
hello i wish it was 2015
Their new band Cola is absolutely epic
@@johnvegas9059 ought much better
the dude playing keys caught me by surprise, always thought it was a guitar on record.
Hah, I thought the same
Same. Those are some cool key tones.
Prolly goin thru a guitar amp
Same. 5 years later.
I like how they use the Nord synth as a rhythm guitar
I fucking love Beautiful Blue Sky.
Borja Aranda maybe #circasurvive
yes!
me too
Cheryl : Great host, great tastes
Cheers
+Jolann synchronicity, was just thinking this. EVERY show with Cheryl Waters as a host is amazing and tickles me fancy.
+Jake McNeil Cheryl talks to much... She would be a better host if she stopped talking during the set.
Getting strong Life Without Buildings vibes from these guys. Hell yes.
LWB are a great great band
Thank god I'm not the only one that thought this. I keep expecting to hear her voice come through.
Both bands are totally up there. There's some footage of Life Without Buildings on YT these days.
I found these guys yesterday after overdosing on The Fall. What a band. Really hits the spot. Cheers from Northampton England.
Hey Brian!!!! I know thee. I love these too. Hope you're well (James ~Northampton)
i wish i could get my band to play like this
Me too boss

Do u listen to the Fall? This band is great and intentional or not you can hear a bit of the fall in the vocals
***** i'll check them out for sure!
that fellow too eerily have similar feature as Mark E Smith
Yes.... As in exactly the same. - Funny how he didn't sound like that on the first Ought EP. (More like Dream Pop vocals). Someone must have given him a Fall cd and told him they were obscure. (sheesh)
sure he did. and David Byrne :) he has many personae
Ms. Cheryl is ALWAYS there to host my favorite bands
00:21 Men for Miles
06:07 Beautiful Blue Sky
19:18 The Weather Song
23:55 Passionate Turn
love the ending of Men for Miles little guitar riff - so very very Swell Maps
Finally!
Beatiful Blue Sky is awesome ''I feel alright,ifeel alright,i feel alright''.
+Fabio Dewitt Yes! Yes!
''I no long afraid to dance tonight''.I love this band.
Yeah !! That was 3 years ago but still.. feel alright feel alright feel alright... :D
David Byrne would be proud of these lads!
+Marc Backman Was thinking Thurston Moore might be a little more proud, or pissed, depending on his disposition.
dont forget Mark E Smith-uhhhh
@@sizone Nah, Mark E. would be definitely pissed. Cause they rip him off-ah!!
@@eugenekassakov3402 naw, not a ripoff, just influenced. there's joy division, wire, swell maps, damned, buzzcocks, talking heads, fall, etc in here. oh wait, I forgot Elvis Costello (the weather song)
I am 59 and this is my new favorite band. Were any of the guys music majors? Wow. Wow.
I am now 60 and I like them too. Drahla are another new band who reflect the punk lyric and style.
Absolutely dying to see these guys live
Hope you got to see them without dying
@@palbo4 Thanks I lived
The way 'Passionate Turn' builds is just amazing. What an awesome band.
The outro to Beautiful Blue Sky is so .... beautiful.
Cheryl, you are the god damn best.
Long live ought❤️❤️❤️
Gotta love the drums on Passionate Turn. The drummer nailed it.
Really great performances all around.
I love the KEXP videos. Especially with Cheryl hosting. Great band. Remind me of The Rikters out of Chicago. Ought's singer has a freakishly long neck.
The way of singing is fantastic crazy! I love it
Nobody can touch these guys. Utterly brilliant. People will be playing (and enjoying this) 20 years from now. Quality never goes out of style.
This band is excellent! However, I am having trouble reading the drummers shirt, perhaps for the next album the drummer could get a shirt with larger text.
It says "I was in Paris" if anything, he should get a shirt with smaller text for each tour, just to mess with you

The drummer is SLAYING IT : 23:08 🥁
RIP OUGHT. BEST POST PUNK BAND EVER
they're back as 'Cola"
@@existDFN thanks for informing. Yes they are back. I wonder where is their drummer goes?
Holy shit, they're great!
stellar band will live long in the memory
love this band so much
Reminds me of Television a lot, I fucking love this.
the fall + life without buildings + talking heads. too good!
New favourite band
Thanks Cheryl and all the team for the wonderful guests you get on this studio.
Viet Cong, Algiers and Ought performances were all amazing.
Any plans to do a session with Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeuld ?!
From an enormous album !!
I really wanted to see Ought in KEXP, thanks guys keep the good work.
Excellent band ! Hope to see and hear them in concert somewhere.
I was waiting for this!
SOOOOOO Good!
what a great surprise
Excellent!
yeeeeeeeeah thanks kexp i love you
Mash them up with Protomartyr = Epic
This stuff is great!
Absolutely fantastic! Lovely work from both KEXP and Ought! =D
Beautiful Blue Sky reminds me a lot of Dismemberment Plan.
+AlbinWest similar sentiment to Back and Forth

There's hope for good music!
These guys love Television
OUGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GUYS!? loved you since the first album. Habit and weather song are precious to me man
Très bon groupe.
Ought reminds me of Buckley ‘95. Wild com
Do you reckon they're fans of The Fall?
+Francis Locrius No way. They definitely haven't ever heard of Violent Femmes either. Or Television.
+Oliver Mangham Or Talking Heads. They've never heard them before. ;) Good stuff nonetheless.
+Copulaxoxi Ranbooi there's defs a big 'gangnam style' influence in these young boys
totally.
+Francis Locrius And Wire, for sure.
so awesome
SUPERSTAR AND STAR HERE . BIG BIG HUGS EVERY ONE . CALL US.
This band ....feckin perfection
great band
Fantastic band.
Sonic Pavement
+Ban Fasso nah... more like The Fall, Wire and Magazine
television burma head.
What a sound
just for the record, these live sessions are so much better than other ones like audiotree
Idk man. Watch their Far Out Series. Meat Wave, Russian Circles.. it goes hard.
Nice channeling of MX-80 Sound
Schweeet. These guys are awesome.
horrible ad cut on beautiful blue sky!
that bassist is handsome as FUCK
they got substance
Nice lvl up shirt!
they're awesome but still young. they will bud into a fuzzy flower of what is.
I believe Pitchfork initially introduced me to these guys. But I've been listening to them more since this session. I would say in a brief sum up 'Talking Heads meets the Post Punk genre' . SUPER creative
❤
the intro to that first song gave me an instant throwback to early tokyo police club
AMEXBLACK
that thicc bass sounds amazing
sonic heads?
Talking Fall
@@pdg887 The Talking Heads Fall
And here, playing the part of David Byrne is Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Sounds like The Fall to me.
No clue these guys were American Singing voice sounded more like British post punk in a way and especially they’re style.
The buildup on Beautiful Blue Sky reminds me of Tom Verlaine and Television.
Old School indie
joder que buenos,me recuerdan a joy division.saludos desde spain.
by the second song, i'm beginning to understand why #beck won that grammy under such scrutiny, and how this could be some sort of neo-americana revival since #thenational went elsewhere after a few albums, distortion with age
some consideration to the formation of #thedivinefits for the sake of and older younger paradigm and likely where that second album has been hiding
Are these guys still making music??
they have been separated since 2020:(
sparks
The lead singer likes like my old boss Anthony Roger
How the hell Tim Darcy making that beautiful noise at 7:50? It's like a perfectly sloppy sweep pick or something...
+Nick Bland Reverb and purposely hitting a bunch of bum notes with weird timing.
Karaoke version of Beautiful Blue Sky - th-cam.com/video/LFFT5-3DEcw/w-d-xo.html
the bass player looks like general hux
he kinda looks like a bully in the following kexp session
Is this Ian Curtis's kid or his reincarnation?
It's like the reincarnation of Mark E Smith...love the feels
First time I'd heard them, and I thought of Mark E. at about eleven minutes.
Um Its "excuse me would you say there's a chance of bringing this whole FUCKER down."
Sad these guys broke up
did they??
Yeah it’s a fucking shame. They’re took down their website and on the merge records website they aren’t on current artists anymore. I think dude just wants to make solo music now
Noooooooooo
Can anybody remember the Blue Aeroplanes? This gves me a similiar vibe, especially the second song. Rubs me just the right way.
Yeah I remember them, but I don't think they sound anything alike. Is there a particular Blue Aeroplanes song you have in mind?
No, more the way of singing - the insrumentals dont't sound alike though. You're right there. Thats the reason I talked about a similiar "vibe" I get (which is a very personal/subjektive thing).
What the hell happened with Darcy's voice? I miss so much his agressive vocals on Sun Coming Down... Fucking awesome album, though.
+Gustavo Lopes Probably a lot of shows.
provável... e uma pena.
Pois é,achei a voz dele arrasada nesta sessão,no entanto instrumentalmente falando tá impecável.
+Gustavo Lopes I talked to them just before they played kexp. They were pretty exhausted from touring the better part of the last two years, plus releasing a couple albums on top of that.
The Fall + The Strokes??
Where is the drummer from? His accent is ... tricky to pin down.
+Oliver Mangham Google tells me he is from Australia.
sounds like The Fall except talented
No
joy devision???
is this the fall?
I don't know when exactly you posted this comment, but as of today, September 26th, it is the fall
palbo4 thank you wasn’t totally sure, only took 4 years to get an answer.
@@harperellenburg glad to help! Seasons are confusing
