LAS BUENAS NOCHES musicales de un festivo en Madrid (sala El Intruso, 19/06/2014)

Los festivos en la capital se viven, y vaya si se viven, sobre todo en el ámbito musical. La primavera se despedía de sus últimos días con lluvia intermitente y, para celebrar que llegaba el verano (y que teníamos nuevo rey, por qué no), nosotros lo hacíamos con un concierto de Las BuenasNoches. De hecho, nos quedó claro que los chicos del grupo se tomaban su concierto como una celebración post-coronación del rey Felipe VI con cantidad de bromas durante todo el show.

Made In America - OUGHT, "More Than Any Other Day" (2014)

Art-punk quartet Ought formed as students at Montreal's McGill University in 2012. Soon after, the band made up of vocalist/guitarist Tim Beeler, keyboardist Matt May, bassist Ben Stidworthy and drummer Tim Keen, released their EP New Calm via Bandcamp. Ought's initial release hinted at the bands angular and experimental approach to song craft that set them in the same light as the forefathers of art-rock Talking Heads and descendants Cap N' Jazz.

Ought's full-length debut More Than Any Other Day, out on the Constellation label, maintains that skewed approach for the most part but also highlights the bands ability to maintain direction without straying too far off the beaten path with post-punk gems like Habit, The Weather Song which sets them slightly apart from their forebearers.  Other songs like title-track, More Than Any Other Day, are slow-burners which set you up and ease you into a beautifully raucous crescendo.
