We'll start a Northern trifecta with a new act for 2014, Montreal's Ought. After forming in 2011 and signing on to Constellation Records (home of Godspeed You! Black Emperor) they released their first full length "More Than Any Other Day" and the album was quite successful both in Canada and the US, reaching number 20 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart. Pitchfork called the album "Best New Music" and gave an 8.4.
"Habit" was the first track I heard on it and it seemed a to take a bit to get going but reminded me somehow a cross between the Velvet Underground and Modest Mouse. The song landed on several year end lists including #17 on Consequence of Sound and #41 on Rolling Stone.
