Someone once said:

"Au's captivating, blissful self-titled debut of gently torn and crumbled pop songs has my ears humming like nothing else Portland's put out this year. Just now, in between this sentence and the one prior, I forgot for a moment I was even writing about this and fell into it like the wonderful dream that Au is. Melodies shake from within ambient fog, folk songs play with their own shape (think a chamber-informed Animal Collective), voices drift and drone--it all happens together, magnificently. I'm smitten. You will be, too."
