Multipistas #2

AUTOMATIC

With Signal, their 2019 debut album, Izzy Glaudini, Lola Dompé, and Halle Saxon deliberately removed the guitar from their band, creating a vast space filled with many versions of post-punk, dance-rock, and indie music—they crafted their own fonk (with an o), similar to how Devo and ESG groove. They are avant-garde, futuristic musicians, and unsuspecting fans are always being converted—I’ve seen it. Automatic in San Francisco covertly impressing stuffy hipsters (Yep, that’s SF for ya) and overaged, grizzled, skateboarder dudes in the Mission District, who happened to be waiting for headliner Osees, get lost and found in droning, thick layers of murmur. Fans waiting for Julian Casablancas’ new project, The Voidz, I’ve observed get turned on and burned—pleasurably—by Automatic’s crypt-keeper vibes, with dagger-like synths, drumstick hits, and monotone vocals. This trio, which named their band after a song by the Go-Gos—the first all-female band to write their own songs and play their instruments on a number one album in the U.S.—have been doing the work for a long-assed minute. I’m a witness.
