Ought’s excellent sophomore album, Sun Coming Down, is out today, September 18th through Constellation Records. The video for the LP’s almost title track, “Sun’s Coming Down” follows the album’s subtle intensity. A bicycle gangs goes through urban streets in search of something that is undefined, encountering various absurde situations. The Aaliyeh Afshar and Max Taeuschel directed video did not need pageantry in order to be as intriguing as it was. Watch it here.
