The Dodos, Wye Oak, & Au

I was excited for this show back in July, and yes, am still a bit giddy. Sunday night at Sonar features San Francisco's The Dodos, Bmore's own Wye Oak, and Au who originate from Portland. Coincidently Au just released the video for their carnival of a single "RR vs. DD" (above). If you haven't already gotten tickets, the playlist below is sure to sway your thoughts. Hopefully the creepy girl in the video will not be in attendance.

Over-Genrefication At Its Best

Sonar plans to hit us with a psych-fuzz-folk-noise-experimental-rock triple threat this fall. The Dodos, Wye Oak, and Au round out what could be one of the best bills later this year.

If you're not already acquainted with local boh-drinkers Wye Oak, familiarize. If Children was beyond awesome, and expect future big things from Andy and Jenn.

Au put out a curiously mesmerizing self titled LP last year, and have recently just released Verbs. I've only heard one track so far, but it sounded like quite the carnival. Literally, like Barnum and Bailey's.

And then there's The Dodos. They've already churned out 2 ear swooning albums and can supposedly rip it live. The show is September 29th. Listen to the tracks below, and I'll see you there.
