Au.Ra "Jane's Lament"
LP (NEW) - Vinyl, Felte, US, 2015, FLT-021, 656605768410, First Issue, Incl. Digital Download
Released in 2015 via Felte Records, Jane’s Lament is the debut album from Sydney-based duo Au.Ra (Tim Jenkins and Tom Crandles). Critics largely received the record as a masterful blend of shoegaze and dream-pop, characterized by its "gauze-wrapped dream states" and meticulous production. A collision of psyche-rock and shoegaze, drawing frequent comparisons to My Bloody Valentine while retaining traces of the duo’s indie-rock roots. The album was birthed from improvised jams over two years, featuring droning guitars, looped drum beats, and layered, reverbed instrumentation.
