Aku You
Quite probably the most experimental act of the festival, Aku You delivers an ominous wall of sound with pounding drums, heavy rhythms, airy guitars, and a minimalist approach to chord structure. The band’s secret weapon is the fierceness with which vocalist Danette Haser, former frontperson for Atlanta’s Penial Ventana, delivers her lyrics. Though possibly the smallest person in the room, and sweet and tender in person, live, Haser’s stage presence is larger than life, and oftentimes straight up shocking.
