Like many of us, AU have a friend in Deerhoof. The Portland-based experimenters put out a new record called Both Lights earlier this year. Unfortunately, the record did not have a Deerhoof remix on it. This is a problem, but it’s a problem with a solution. The solution is that AU is putting out a limited edition leather-bound vinyl split with Pure Bathing Culture. “WHAT! THAT’S NO SOLUTION!” That’s what you’re yelling out, because you’re insufferable. See, it’s absolutely a solution because this very release features a Deerhoof remix of AU’s “Solid Gold.” We’ll be seeing that solution later this month when Portland bar Dig A Pony puts out the single.
Until then! And after then! AU are going on tour! They’ll be touring throughout the summer, primarily with fellow Portland act Tu Fawning. Once that summer’s over, they’ll do more touring in the fall, primarily with Zammuto. ZAMMUTO IS NOT FROM PORTLAND. Zammuto is from New York. Somewhere in between, AU’s Luke Wyland will be doing a solo performance. And who else will be there? Deerhoof. Ah, finally.
