This band defines Portlant, Oregon for me

Tu Fawning are a Portlant, Oregon based band that pretty much defines their city with their sound.  I can't imagine them coming from anywhere else in the United States.  This is so Portlant. And not in a bad way.  Portlandia has sort of made that town a punchline.

It's really hard to nail down what they might sound like which is pretty cool in my opinion.  "Anchor" is one of their more accessible songs for the masses. Probably the reason why they picked that as their first single off their album A Monument. Not sure what the guy is doing running aimlessly near the ocean.  Hell, I have no idea what any of these people are doing in this video.  The entire album might not be for everyone but I think this single is a damn good start.

Here's a stripped down version of "A Pose For No One" from A Monument.  I like how organic their melody is live. I should catch this band next time they're in Los Angeles.

Last song I'm posting for you good folks is "Sad Story" from their Hearts on Hold LP.  And yes this video is weird.  I do enjoy when one of them shoots glitter out of her hands. I think it's glitter?
