Automatic synthesizes a new strain of retrofuturist motorik pop. The overarching themes of alienation and escapism emerged as Automatic put their new album Excess together, taking writing retreats to flesh out new songs before decamping to the studio for sprint recording sessions with producer Joo Joo Ashworth (Sasami, FROTH) .
On “New Beginning” – inspired by the Swedish sci-fi film Aniara – Automatic reject the false hope of leaving behind a scorched planet and searching for “a better place”, at a moment when the ultra-rich are eyeing manned space travel: “In the service of desire / We will travel far away”. Imagining the “nihilism and loneliness” of attempting to escape the planet once unchecked consumerism has reached its logical outcome, the song pictures being “stranded in a space-void with no connection to Earth or humanity.” In the video directed by Ambar Navarro, a trip to space starts out fun before taking a dark turn.
Special Guests: Shybits and Cosey Mueller
Shybits is a Berlin based post punk garage rock trio made up of friends Liam from Brighton (Guitar & vocals), Piero from Italy (Bass & vocals) and Meg from South Africa (drums). The fuzzy, feel-good sound is reminiscent of post punk and 90s garage rock and has been described as "Beach Boys suntan nostalgia meets Beatlesque Bedroom pop".
Cosey Mueller is an artist/musician currently living and working in Berlin. Interior Escapes was her solo debut, a project recorded during the 2020/2021 pandemic times. At the moment she is working on a new album which is to be released in fall 2022. Analog sounds, Lofi aesthetics, experimenting with simple synth melodies, repetitive dancy beats and expressive vocals characterise her music.'
