Autolux - A couple of videos

Posted over 2 years ago
Thanks to Lucy, I've been catching up with Autolux and was shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, to find no videos in the Autolux Artist Lounge... Sorted.Turnstile BluesShimmering dream pop. Spacey fuzzdrones from the future. Noisy walls of sound with 3 dimensional astral projection. Autolux lives somewhere between non-conventional means and outer space. But they also seem to have a distant love of the pop song format, to keep an appreciation on some level for accessibility. So just what kind of band are they? A diverse one. They weave through a variety of genres - indie rock, shoegazer, dream pop, noise, and sometimes jangly off-kilter kind of stuff.So what you say? Lots of people mix genres these days and why should you care? Because it's the age of context and with Autolux it's how they put it together that's cool.They deftly weave their way in and out of these genres and go back and forth between them. They have noise and loops between their songs. Off-kilter chords get played along side agreeable ones. It's complicated. It's like My Bloody Valentine joined with Sonic Youth to give you dream pop leanings.BlanketFilling in the gaps.

  3. Augusts1 says Very cool, the drummer is really amazing, she's what really helps shape their sound w/her drum attack. They're all great but those drums just jumped out at me. Thanks!

  4. Girlcrawl says Love these guys; they are quite innovative, and too feel that musically these guys 'weave' amongst their informed genres with such creative deftness. Great video selection, and am glad you chose to correct the 'lounge' omission. Well-done!!

  6. zoot says i've been a fan of autolux since t-bone burnett discovered carla azar (autolux's amazing drummer) about 7-8 years ago. t-bone has included carla, in just about every project of his, since that time; and eventually went on, to sign autolux to his record label.
