We’ve already gotten one taste of Ought’s Sun Coming Down with “Beautiful Blue Sky.” Now, the jittery post-punk band have shared the album’s second single, “Men for Miles.” The track tempers Ought’s spritely melodies with a slightly muddy, downcast sound reminiscent of fellow angst-punks Protomartyr before shifting into a rubbery guitar workout. Give it a listen below. The band will also be hitting the road this fall in support of Sun Coming Down. Those dates are below, too.
