METZ releases 'A Boat to Drown In', new album 'Atlas Vending' drops in the Fall

By Will McGuirk

Intriguing video and then the Furry shows up unleashing the fury of this new track from METZ. “A Boat to Drown In” is the first single from the upcoming album, ‘Atlas Vending’, which will be out October 9, 2020, on Royal Mountain/ Sub Pop.

The single is a relentless headbanger, a numbing number that weighs in at over 7 minutes! and opens up a whole ship’s container of anticipation for the album itself. Its also the musical equivalent of pounding out day after day, blow after blow, a bloodied beating of this pandemic.

'Disgraced In America', new track from Ought released

The Stranglers were able to move from "Do You Wanna" to "Golden Brown" without losing their grip on what made them Stranglers. Montreal's Ought manage the same feat - they move between Television waves and Radiohead nods with some Stranglers' sneer too on the track "Disgraced In America", the latest from their new record, 'Room Inside the World' due February 16 2018 on Royal Mountain. The video is by Heather Rappard and animates the spaces in between the fragments of the track - moving between - I guess somewhat in the manner The Stranglers were wont to do. Ought have a North American/ European tour in March with a date at Lee's in Toronto Mar 7.
