Au is the future of American music. Primarily the work of Portland based multi-instrumentalist Luke Wyland, one can immediately tell he has lived all around the country, and absorbed everything to form a sound that not only echoes the past, but also sets a path for the future. Although they have been labeled by some as "psych-folk", we can assure you that Au is not another group of dudes with bandannas sitting around doing acid, but rather immensely skilled musicians who put great detail into every aspect of their sound.
"Au’s self-titled release is a more than a solid debut full of rickety yet elated melodies. Think Animal Collective with a little less animal—and a little more sobriety; it’s folk with the discipline of classical music and the nagging howls of new, weird Americana"- Willamette Weekly
