Canadian post-punk four-piece Ought release Sun Coming Down, the follow-up to their debut full-length More Than Any Other Day, next week – listen to a stream of the album in full in the player below.

Speaking to The Skinny ahead of the band's recent UK shows, frontman Tim Darcy described the process behind Sun Coming Down as “kind of magical in how it came together.” 

Darcy told us: "One thing we were talking about a lot [with this record] is that if a song wants to be loud and fast, just let it go there. If a song is quieter, more open, let it go there. To not have things hang in the middle."

He added: “There’s been this… interior/exterior thing happening. With the last record, we played so many shows, played the songs so many times before we even recorded them. By the time we were with Constellation, we were pretty sure that the songs were, like… okay.

"But with the new one, we made it in a vacuum. Straight from being holed up in this jam space, we played two local shows and went straight into the studio.” Read our full interview with Darcy, on Ought's new album, live show, and the "hive mind" behind their music.

Sun Coming Down is released on 18 Sep via Constellation Records. Ought play ATP 2.0's Nightmare Before Christmas 2015 weekender at Prestatyn, North Wales, on 27-29 November, alongside Blanck Mass, Courtney Barnett, The Notwist, Natalie Prass and Lightning Bolt.
