Autolux are a three
piece band consisting of Eugene Goreshter, Carla Azar, and
Greg Edwards. Since they formed
and began playing shows in early 2000, Autolux has gained
much critical acclaim and respect on either side of the
atlantic.
Autolux lives somewhere between nonconventional means
and outer space. Lush, sonic meltdowns with melodies
and lyrics that set themselves up for the long haul -
vacillating between economy and experimentation, hybrid
and rock classicism. Their first album, Future Perfect,
was released on DMZ/Columbia in October 2004. DMZ was
created by musician/producer T-Bone Burnett and the Coen
Brothers. Shortly after signing the band, Burnett also
took on the role as producer. Edwards describes his influences
while working on Future Perfect -- "The
sound of old elevators, an iron fence on a windy hill
in Texas, the Doppler effect, and the geographical acumen
of Peter Sellers."
After touring incessantly onFuture
Perfect, the band took a long break before diving into
writing for their second full-length, Transit Transit.
Keeping themselves busy, Autolux
teamed up with UNKLE on a song for the album War Stories,
composed music for an exhibit at The Museum of Natural
History in Los Angeles, called "Sonic Scenery",
performed on Nigel Godrich's tv series From The Basement, and traveled
to Russia to open for PJ Harvey. In February of 2008,
Carla went into the studio with PJ Harvey and John Parish
to play drums on their latest record, A Woman A Man Walked
By.
Autolux recorded and produced the long overdue Transit
Transit themselves and it is expected to come out later
this year.
