Sun / Spare The Thought
London based Sydneysiders Tom Crandles and Tim Jenkins began Au.Ra after meeting at university, then they started recording and writing tracks drowned in sweet, reverb goodness with a mellow voice. Their long-acclaimed single "Morning" dropped on the Art Is Hard Records Postcard Club, making impossible the art of writing about them avoiding the comparisons to the ones like Tame Impala and Beach Fossils.
'Spare The Thought', beginning with a pulsating rhythm and bending guitars which screech like sirens, it expands into a surging bass line with the reverb heavy melodies and feedback carrying Tom Crandles airy vocals. 'Spare The Thought' is the latest glimpse of a duo who fleetingly showcase their hallmark sound before flying off into the distance. And you may recognise 'Sun', a reverb-drenched slice of goodness - all melodic guitar licks and fleeting vocals, as the bands online debut.
