Ought: Room Inside the World (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP

Recorded at Rare Book Room in Brooklyn, Inside the World is Ought’s third album. With Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Silver Jews) in the producer seat, the Montreal, Canada band presents a bolder, more nuanced album, and it explores themes like identity, connection, and “survival in a precarious world,” over vibraphone, synths, drum machines, and a 70-piece choir. Check out “Disgraced in America,” “These 3 Things,” “Desire,” and “Brief Shield.”
