Les Aus

Lt0849

A little while ago, I received a nice goodie bag from Molly Neuman's new label Simple Social Graces and began shuffling through some releases from this year and last. The one that really stuck with me was from a band from Barcelona called Les Aus. At first pass, I would describe what they do as internationalist math rock. What that means in real terms is that the band specializes in jittery instrumentals peppered with pinches of punk, flamenco and lo-fi psych. Me likey!

Their latest, Harrana Hanne has been getting some love on the Simple Mission stereo and so I wanted to pass along the good word that you should check them out. A few jams are available to stream here.

Also props to SSG for jacking the font from Oasis' Standing On The Shoulder... I see you!
