Is/Ought Gap – SUA

This latest release from the wonderful HHBTM Records sees the once lost art-pop/post-punk stylings of Is/Ought Gap brought passionately and powerfully out into the light.

Emerging from the same early 80s Athens, GA indie scene that spawned the likes of REM, The B-52’s and Pylon, Is/Ought Gap were always a looser, noisier proposition, their incendiary live shows a consistent highlight extending across the Southeast.

Despite their successes on the live circuit, the band’s debut album Lucky 7 remained unreleased, a wrong now put right on this vibrant and vital new compilation. Also included are tracks freshly recorded during the bands 2014 reunion, with some choice bonus live cuts to close.

Fizzing with electric energy, Is/Ought Gap have emerged from the shadows with a rousing, rowdy beauty certain to resonate deeply with a whole new enraptured audience. SUA is out now, you can purchase the vinyl/digital here.
