  • AU was a Portland, Oregon experimental pop group established by multi-instrumentalist Luke Wyland. Wyland started AU in 2005 while completing a degree at the Massachusetts College of Art. He later moved cross-country to Portland and established a base in its music community. Now a working live band, AU features an ever-changing roster of players, recently including Jonathan Sielaff (Parenthetical Girls, Nick Jaina) on guitar, clarinets and saw; and Dana Valatka (Mustaphamond) on drums. Contributors to AU's recordings included Mark Kaylor (Hamor of Hathor, CexFucx), Becky Dawson (Saw Whet, Ah Holly Fam’ly), and Sarah Winchester (A Weather). Its self-titled debut album was praised by such media centers as Pitchfork and Stereogum, and was named #2 Portland Album of 2007 by The Portland Mercury, which said AU “manages to erase the high art/low art boundary between American contemporary classical music and American pop music, blending them into a simple, compelling, verse-chorus celebration... (and) is the rare band that can reinvent its songs live and still manage to match their recorded quality." Wyland has recorded, produced and released 4 recordings as AU. AU - Au (2007). AU - Verbs (2008). AU - Versions (2009). AU - Both Lights (2012). (en)
  • Gli AU sono un gruppo pop sperimentale, con sede a Portland, nell'Oregon. Gli AU furono fondati nel 2005 dal polistrumentista Luke Wyland, quando ancora stava per diplomarsi al Massachusetts College of Art and Design, la prima scuola d'arte a rilasciare titoli di studio validi negli Stati Uniti. Dopo alcuni avvicendamenti nei primi anni di attività, sono entrati a far parte degli AU: Jonathan Sielaff, proveniente dal gruppo Parenthetical Girls, alla chitarra, al clarinetto e sega; Dana Valatka, componente dei Mustaphamond, alle percussioni. Alle registrazioni degli AU hanno partecipato anche Mark Kaylor (Hamor of Hathor, CexFucx), Becky Dawson (Saw Whet, Ah Holly Fam'ly), e Sarah Winchester (A Weather). L'omonimo disco d'esordio Au fu recensito positivamente dai siti musicali Pitchfork e Stereogum, e si posizionò al secondo posto come miglior album del 2007 nella classifica della rivista The Portland Mercury. Dalla nascita del gruppo nel 2005, Wyland ha inciso, prodotto e pubblicato quattro album: AU - Au (2007); AU - Verbs (2008); AU - Versions (2009); AU - Both Lights (2012). (it)
