Friends, there is a record called Verbs from Portland’s Au (pronounced “ay you,” not “aooohhh,” thank you very much) and it is absolutely phenomenal. The local music bar has definitely been raised to new heights with a group of songs as texturally gorgeous, and intelligent, as these.

Problem is, the album doesn’t come out until June 26th (with a release party set for the 24th at Holocene), and if the internet has taught us anything, it’s that waiting for things is what suckers do. I want everything now now now now!

Thankfully the folks at Emusic are aware of our generation’s lack of patience, and have offered Verbs for your consuming pleasure weeks before its proper release. Plus with their free trial offer, it’s basically free. Hot damn!

Free and now, the two most important words ever.
