With a knowing wink and a sapient grin, the rock gods (Lemmy, Thor, Keef, and their receptionist, Ãävé Ñâvårrò), have provided us a rare glimpse into the very near future, and the thing is simply dominated by new music ensemble Au. The much-discussed and even-more-loved (especially on this site) collective, centered around Portland's adopted prodigal son Luke Wyland, will be meandering around and playing live shows which will hopefully feature songs from its self-titled album and their forthcoming release Verbs. Verbs is out June 26 on Aagoo Records and is preceded May 20 by the claptastic carnival-like single “RR vs. D.”
Who gives a fuck about an “Oxford Comma”? Not us, we want Verbs instead!
1. All My Friends
2. Are Animals
3. Summerheat
4. RR vs. D
5. All Myself
6. Two Seasons
7. Prelude
8. The Waltz
9. Sleep
Wyland is hellbent on converting conventional music listeners one by one through his albums or by the dozens and hundreds and thousands and kazillions when playing live. Dissenters have no choice, so don’t rally against Au: you can’t win, and if you try, then you hate freedom and have no taste. We hope to announce widespread dates after Verbs takes a firm hold, but for now Wyland and cohorts will tour this beaten path on the West Coast of the U.S. of A. All dates are with like-minded manglers Parenthetical Girls and PWRFL Power.
