Autolux is shoegaze. But has anyone else noticed how perfect their production values are? Every song, every beat is extremely symmetrical and calculated. Unlike, say, Sonic Youth, who I like, but were kind of sloppy IMO. [Source]

Just found this great description on an invite-only social network (Bongorama, don’t have the mother source):
What the hell is this? Bopping its disembodied head out of the bloody waters like the final survivor of a shark attack, this LA threesome’s debut is a razor sharp pinch in the arm of drainpipe caressing, crack aided Britindie. An astonishing blend of minor chord switchblade Cali rock and narcotic feedback, it sounds like it was written in the darkest recesses of The Viper Room while a young starlet OD’s on her own reflection. Add in an intro that sound like the strange humming the water pipes make before they split in two and an outro possibly written by Damien from ‘The Omen’ and you have one of the singles of the year. Startling.
i so enjoyed reading that blurb about Autolux and their song Here Comes Everybody but I have always wondered if any of the song was referencing the Alien interview done by that nurse after the Roswell crash…the Alien, who said her name was Airl, referred to the nurse as being part of the “lost battalion,” a group of immortal extraterrestrials that initially came to Earth to free humanity from the soul recycling mechanism left behind by “the old Dominion” another race of ET’s responsible for imprisoning humanity on Earth and even though defeated and no longer in control of us, we, along with any ET’s that die on Earth, are doomed to reincarnate here, again and again, until either everyone remembers their immortal real selves or the old Dominion tech trapping us is deactivated or destroyed. I live the story and it rings in me a melody of self defining sorrow much that same as the Autolux track but Greg Edwards never says a thing about any of this when asked but then again why would he? I love u, Greg, have since ‘Fantastic Planet’ however as great as new Failure album after new Failure album IS …I WANT
