Our Take

Australian dream pop duo AU.RA's latest offering, "Cultivations," is like a breath of fresh air in a genre that can sometimes feel a bit stale. With shimmering guitars, ethereal vocals, and hypnotic melodies, this album is the perfect soundtrack for late-night drives or lazy afternoons in the sun.

From the opening track "Jungle," AU.RA sets the tone for the rest of the album with their lush, atmospheric sound. Tracks like "Urge to Slow Down" and "Blue Chip" showcase the duo's knack for creating dreamy, otherworldly vibes that will transport you to a far-off galaxy.

But don't be fooled by the dreamy exterior – there's a dark underbelly to "Cultivations" that adds an element of depth to the album. Songs like "Applause" and "Pulse" tackle themes of anxiety and uncertainty, giving the album a sense of emotional weight that grounds the dreamy atmosphere.

Overall, "Cultivations" is a mesmerising listen that showcases AU.RA's talent for crafting immersive, atmospheric music. If you're a fan of bands like Beach House or Tame Impala, this album is definitely worth a listen. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let AU.RA take you on a journey through their sonic garden of delights.

About the artist

Au.Ra

Hailing from down under, the enigmatic duo AU.RA is making waves in the indie music scene with their dreamy, ethereal soundscapes. Consisting of Tim Jenkins and Tom Crandles, these Aussie lads have perfected the art of blending hypnotic vocals with swirling guitars and pulsating beats. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Tame Impala and Beach House, AU.RA creates music that transports listeners to a sun-drenched beach on a lazy summer afternoon. Their debut album, "Cultivations," released in 2015, received critical acclaim for its unique blend of shoegaze and psychedelic rock. But don't be fooled by their laid-back vibe - AU.RA's music is anything but background noise. Tracks like "Applause" and "Sun" showcase their ability to create lush, textured soundscapes that demand your attention. With their atmospheric sound and mesmerising live performances, AU.RA is definitely a band to keep an eye on. So grab your headphones, close your eyes, and let AU.RA take you on a sonic journey unlike any other. In a world full of cookie-cutter pop stars and generic chart-toppers, AU.RA stands out as a breath of fresh air. So do yourself a favour and give these Aussie eccentrics a listen - your ears will thank you.
