This sweetened the pot a bit for me, a long time fan of the older stuff, because it put a little twist on those tracks which are more familiar to me.Įventually "Turnstile Blues" was played at the halfway point. Each track was slightly extended by the band's tendency to improvise and jam a little off of each other at solo points and endings of their songs. From there on they kept the new tracks coming, blasting the audience's cobwebs away with songs like "Census" and the internet hit "Audience No. The crowd was restless to say the least at this point, but quickly hushed and became absorbed in the slow song, "The Science of Imaginary Solutions," (a new track off of Transit Transit) sung by their drummer Carla. They were late for their soundcheck because of traffic on the way back from New York where they had done an interview earlier in the day. They lack lyrics, but get their point across without words.Īutolux came on the stage about five minutes before midnight.

This Will Destroy You make some fucking epic tunes that beg to be slapped on a movie soundtrack for that climactic ending theme. My friend described their sound as "the type of music you hear at the end of 28 Days Later or something." Although it lacks highbrow eloquence, I'd have to agree with this statement.
Their lyricless, ambient, lengthy tracks swelled and exploded and had fans and spectators hypnotized. This Will Destroy You appeared on the stage around 10:30pm and brought the doom and gloom into the venue. All food metaphors aside, Dirty Dishes are going places for sure if they keep performing to this caliber. It has this chunky peanut butter sound (no I'm not hungry) to it with frontwoman Jenny Tuite's smooth voice blanketing over crunchy, distorted guitars to make a sweet hard rock song. The song "Stolen Apples" was the highlight of their set to me. To me, it was another solid high energy performance that hopefully earned them some new fans. The Boston-based band Dirty Dishes (a band I'd seen at the House of Blues recently) was the first opening act of the night. The show began around 9:00pm with a local band. It's a well-rounded and refined album that pleases the hungry fans who haven't moved on (and if you're like me, got their high school and college diplomas in the time it took them to release a follow-up) and expected nothing less than a brilliant companion piece to Autolux's first audio excursion. Since then, TBD Records picked up the ten track sophomore album and released it to critical acclaim. His response was early 2010 (this did not happen obviously) because they were currently without a label. Now, I had already seen them play last September at the Paradise and asked their frontman Eugene when the new album was coming out.
How do you like those particular apples?Īlong with a new album comes a new tour. Yeah that's right, they just recently released their new album Transit Transit to a #1 seller ranking on iTunes on the week of its arrival. Not ringing any bells? Maybe it would have something to do with them not having a new album out for six years. Their moderate radio hit "Here Comes Everybody" kicked around WFNX for a whole summer back in 2005. Remember Autolux? They were that shoegazy rock band from California that released their debut album called Future Perfect back in 2004.
