AU #2 in MOJO’s Top Ten Playlist

AU  ‘Both Lights’
Leftfield Pop
LP/CD
(The Leaf Label)

Both Lights is AU’s Portland, Oregon-based duo Luke Wyland and Dana Valatka’s third album and a first for The Leaf Label which a joint release with US label Hometapes.
Both Lights is the closest their recorded incarnation has yet reached to the blissful force of an AU live show, while expanding outward in new directions. Wyland’s rich baritone takes centre stage on Both Lights, a one-man tug-of-war with love, loss, pain, anger and desire, while the music behind him flits with gleeful abandon between styles – choral folk, ferocious jazz-punk, wild percussive workouts, sumptuous indie-pop. CD and vinyl formats will be packaged in stunning mirror-board packaging and  the CD comes in a gatefold card wallet, while the LP will be on coloured wax and include a free download of the album.

01. Epic
02. Get Alive
03. Crazy Idol
04. OJ
