Is there a Grizzly Bear rooting round my trash or an Animal Collective doing my fricking dishes? Nah, it’s just the sound of Au (pronounced, all you phonetics phans, as “ay you”), the Portland-bound solo project of Luke Wyland. Me likes their newly released self-titled disc, a gentle melange of bells, strums, and psych-folk meander.
Au plays Thursday, Aug. 2, alongside Brooklyn’s Hi Red Center and ex-Gowns drummer Corey Fogel, and
Dannie Little Teeth at Hemlock Tavern, SF. Starts at 9 p.m. and it’s only six bucks, buckeroos.
