Autolux

Banda que apenas descobri recentemente mas que já tem algum tempo de existencia. No fim de contas, pensando numa certa evolucao pessoal em termos de gostos musicais, esta banda acaba por representar um retorno a sonoridades que já me foram mais familiares. My Bloody Valentine nem por isso, mas já será diferente quando penso em Sonic Youth. Talvez menos rude e com uma engrenagem mais suave, nao deixa de apresentar tracos suficientes para relembrar outros tempos de discotecas mais escuras, ao mesmo tempo que deixa suficiente espaco novo para nao ser uma mera repeticao. Bons velhos tempos outra vez.

"Los Angeles noise pop trio Autolux formed in 2000. Singer/bassist Eugene Goreshter met Ex-Ednaswap drummer Carla Azar while collaborating on the score for Dario Fo's play +Accidental Death of an Anarchist, and following the addition of former Failure guitarist Greg Edwards, the group made its live debut that summer at the noted L.A. area club the Silverlake Lounge. Upon releasing the self-produced EP Demonstration in the spring of 2001, Autolux signed with producer T-Bone Burnett's fledgling DMX label and began writing material for their upcoming debut LP -- however, in May 2002 Azar fell from a stage and shattered her elbow, making a complete recovery following an experimental surgery that required the implementation of eight titanium screws. At year's end the group finally entered the studio, and while recording wrapped in early 2003, Autolux spent more than a year refining the final mix and Future Perfect did not hit retail until October 2004. Tours in support of the Secret Machines and Nine Inch Nails followed, as did an appearance on the Vincent Gallo-curated All Tomorrow's Parties festival." in Star Pulse
