Not only does a mate of mine have an ace new haircut, but he told me about AU. They're about the best thing I've heard since I first heard Leaf House by Animal Collective. They released their second album 'Verbs' at the back end of last year and it's a beautiful arrangement of piano, strings, brass, guitar and melody. The brains behind AU is Portland based Luke Wyland, and similarly to Animal Collective they change in members and experiment and redefine the way in which tracks are constructed with ambient chords, strange sounds and folky harmonised voices. Gutted I haven't discovered them before, but happy they're in my ears now.
