ABOUT THE BANDS
AU
AU’s third album, Both Lights, is a recurring dream. Eleven songs made by the Portland, Oregon-based duo Luke Wyland and Dana Valatka, it’s a story of Time.
In its eleven songs, Both Lights constructs new sonic and psychological terrain for the listener. It unfolds like a story, both in its hyper-attentive, graceful, and often fierce instrumentation — the language of Wyland and Valatka — and in its heated and naked emotion. “This is all inner struggle, inner growth, inner seeking,” said Wyland. Set to music, life sounds like AU.

ETERNAL TAPESTRY
After the dark conceptual ambience of Beyond the 4th Door, the members of Eternal Tapestry decided the time was right to do an album embracing their live show – blistering psych rock filled with lyrical guitar soloing and a caveman approach to rhythm, an oddly euphoric state where melancholia is blasted by ecstatic noise.
“Committed psych, folk, and early metal music crate diggers could probably reference a vast and rich collection of LPs from the ’60s and ’70s that Eternal Tapestry’s work fits nicely alongside.” — Filter Magazine
CATSKILLS
From La Grande, Oregon. Jeff Grammer (drums, keyboard, banjo, vocals) Gregory Rawlins (guitar, vocals, harmonica, tamborine, cassette effects). Wayne Marvin Callahan (bass, vocals) have been evolving their newest project CATSKILLS, most recently playing at Boise’s Treefort Music Fest these homegrown experimentalists bring to the table raw and romping regional rock/folk.
