Autolux - Transit Transit

Review by Radhika Takru

Where Future Perfect knocked us right off our feet, Transit Transit doesn't seem to have the energy to even push us slightly to the left. »

atp recordings present the highly anticipated second album from their new signings, los angeles based trio autolux. autolux mix elements of alt-rock, krautrock and shoegaze to create an eclectic sound that has been compared to such kindred spirits as sonic youth, blonde redhead and my bloody valentine. there is a notable sonic progression throughout 'transit transit' : vintage synthesizers and manipulated ambience glue central song components together, several tracks are built around piano, all three members take turns with lead vocals, harmonies are abundant, and there is even a bit of trumpet. ultimately, 'transit transit' is propelled by its individual members' strengths, coalescing into beautiful, complex songs.
