Catching up with AU
AU "VERSIONS" EP was reviewed of on Pitchfork:
http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/13866-versions/
" AU just sound like a better band here, more flexible and distinctive. Wiser, too: They highlight their strengths-- Wyland's impressive throaty vibrato, for one-- and strip arrangements down to more manageable sizes."
— Joe Colly
A nice video from a live show on there tour with WHY? for Alabama Public Television

The Wire Magazine review of Father Murphy
"The dead-eyed chants, keyboard drones and bone-dry rhytms of Italian trio Father Murphy's second album conjure up a funereal atmosphere somewhere between homemade Morricone and toytown Goblin.
Indeed, the group's sparse arrangements are chiefly notable for their element of suspense and lurking threat, the malnourished melodies and detuned guitar clang perpetually hinting at a knife-wielding, leather-gloved hand just out of shot.
Like giallo master Dario Argento, Father Murphy's songs make little narrative sense but deliver the shocks artfully and memorably.
The strangulated boy-girl vocal stylings are genuinely discorcenting, and the group display a nerve-jangling grasp of dynamics throughout, keeping the listener frozen in a state of terrified ecstasy."
That ol'devil Dario would surely approve.
