WATCH ON PITCHFORK: “OJ”
MP3: “OJ”
AU is premiering a colorful, dazzling music video for “OJ” today by Japanese director Takafumi Tsuchiya. He was also the creative visionary behind AU’s 2010 music video for “Ida Walked Away”. The band continues their tour in Europe in support of their new album, Both Lights, which is out now on Hometapes.
“Every track brims with exuberant life. His (Luke Wyland) first masterpiece.” (8/10) – NME
Prismatic, kaleidoscopic, and oversaturated with color, it endlessly resituates itself between towering chamber-folk, cyclonic Marnie Stern-style spazz, and orchestral psych. – Pitchfork
