Indie rock is doing amazing things in service of the parts of speech and grammar in general these days. Vampire Weekend is through with oxford commas, No Age is 100% pro Nouns, and now we learn Oregonian psych-folk troupe Au will be crusading on behalf of Verbs. It’s been awhile since that lucky promo-excavating day turned up the dual gems “Sum” and “Boute” from Luke Wyland’s Au (pronounced “Ay You,” in case you forgot) troupe about a year back. New tune “RR vs. D,” from the forthcoming Verbs LP shows Luke is perhaps weaning himself off the Animal Collective a bit, although not animals in general: after a first movement of handclaps, dirty projecting female vocals, and happy trilling pianos, “RR vs. D” becomes a big brassy trip to Ringling Bros.
Sounds like they’re trading the sunshower sounds for something more grounded. We’re thinking this next round of promo shots won’t find the guys heads’ in the clouds. Here’s a lump of “Sum”:

this new track is incredible. definitely worth listening to a few times as its details are easily missed the first time around. who’s the female singer on this track?
the singer is Becky Dawson (as read here: http://mp3hugger.com/2008/04/au-rr-vs-d.html)
Wow! Apparently Au has more up their sleeve!
Thanks for a good post…
