Autolux: Transit Transit

Autolux

If you can imagine Eliot Smith fronting a trio that swings between Sonic Youth guitar noise and Radiohead knob twiddling, you'll hear in your head the latest from Autolux, an L.A. trio that counts Trent Reznor and Thom Yorke as superfans.

Now that may not sound liker a recipe for success, but Transit Transit is a fun record to listen to.  Only those music listeners who never adapted to Sonic Youth's discord and Radiohead's more experimental electro moments will be puzzled. For the rest of us, Autolux manages to pull the diverse elements together into a coherent style.
