After tenures in overlooked '90s outfits like Ednaswap and Failure, the members of Los Angeles' Autolux joined forces. The fruits of their labor have yielded Future Perfect, an album that triumphs as it defies expectations. Meshing the guitar blur of the shoegazer movement (Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Pale Saints) with traces of indie rock royalty (Sonic Youth, Ivy), it's hardly what you might expect producer T-Bone Burnett to stand behind. But the trio excels as it thumbs its nose at the /p>
ew wave revival movement of the early 21st century via the hypnotic "Sugarless," the lilting and riff-sturdy "Trigger," and the menacing whirl of "Blanket." If the aforementioned numbers highlight Greg Edwards' guitar antics and bassist/vocalist Eugene Goreshter's twee vocal approach, the band's secret weapon is drummer Carla Azar, who is not just skilled behind the kit. Azar's pipes sound eerily similar to Kim Deal's Pixies efforts on "Angry Candy" and "Here Comes Everybody," which are arguably the band's finest moments.
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 ...

I'm not as technologically savy as I'd like to be please forgive but I do have a yen for music ever since 3rd grade with my (birthday score) first album Men At Work..yes the old school cds with elephantitis. I never understand people who don't love music..whatever it may be. It seems to be a litmus test for me if you don't like music please stand on the other side of the line in the sand. Bef...

I have become a big listener of this album, and lately it is the one band the wizard in black and i seem to agree on. Anyone have any idea on when their next album is coming out?I saw them open for NIN and Queens of the Stone Age and felt they blew these bands of the stage. They weren't very flashy, just got down to the important stuff. I have been hooked on the album ever since.

Such a simple thing to add into a song, right? It means absolutely nothing, it's not something you could find in a dictionary, but there it is, gracing many songs. Well, I found two in my collection for sure. As for meaning, well, we'll get to that.Exhibit A: Autolux - Here Comes EverybodyAt first listen, it sounds so inviting, Carla Azar cooing "sha la la, let's go, let's go" in the chorus. Lo...

Every genre has its initial boom, and most of the time, at some point, a second boom. Whether the second boom is a more boisterous boom or more of a post movement squeek just depends on timing and band participation. Each wave of ska seems bigger than the last. Each new spin on metal seems less metal than the last (ie-rap-metal/mall-core). Apparently Shoegaze's time has come. I've noticed it sl...
