Ought is a Canadian musical group from Montreal.
Ought formed in 2012 when its members began living together in a communal band practice space while they recorded their earliest material. Their debut EP, New Calm, was released in 2012.[2]
After signing with Constellation Records, they released a full-length, More than Any Other Day, in 2014. The album achieved critical acclaim,[3] including a Best New Music rating from Pitchfork Media.[4] It was noted in numerous year-end lists for 2014 including Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Drowned In Sound, Loud & Quiet, Exclaim!, Crack Magazine, and Paste.[5] The Album reached #20 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart in the United States.[6]
In October 2014, the band released Once More With Feeling, an EP featuring B-Sides from More Than Any Other Day and re-recordings of earlier songs.[7]
In July 2015, the band announced a follow-up to More Than Any Other Day, entitled Sun Coming Down.[8]
