Here is a recent discovery I just made, a little known experimental band from Canada, one that a couple of my friends in my local band scene raved about as soon as I mentioned how much I loved the album. Au4, though they dabble with lyrics, focus their music much more on the ambiance of the piece, using words as elements of the music rather than the focus, making it post-rock enough for me. Truly emotionally evocative, “Hit and Miss” weaves a story of childhood long gone by, both melancholic and celebratory. No matter the mood, happy, sad, or somewhere in-between, this song will bring you back. Very summery feel as well: reminds me of childhood family vacations, I think. Reminiscent and calm, vibrant yet mellow, this is one of my favorite recent musical discoveries, and I hope you will think the same.
