Transit Transit

Autolux (Carla Azar: vocalsldrums, Greg Edwards: vocalslguitar, and Eugene Goreshter: vocals1<br>bass) produced Transit Transit themselves with Edwards serving as engineer. It was recorded in<br>the band's studio, Space 23, located near downtown Los Angeles. The album begins with it's title<br>track, an utterly unique concussion of rhythm, created from a looped sample of an old freezer<br>slamming shut and a simple round of chords from an upright piano. The hypnotic density of the<br>vocals and organic futurism of the instrumentation instantly rearranges any preconceptions about<br>the 'autolux sound'. "Census" and "Supertoys" play like the logical evolution and refinement of<br>Future Perfect, delivering propulsive grooves and atmospheric chord changes, while "Highchair"<br>combines a simple, yet effective drum machine beat with tympani-esque tom overdubs to create<br>an orchestral lo-fi dance track. There is a notable sonic progression throughout Transit Transit:<br>vintage synthesizers and manipulated ambience glue central song components together, several<br>tracks are built around piano, all three members take turns with lead vocals, harmonies are<br>abundant, and there is even a bit of trumpet. Ultimately, Transit Transit is propelled by its<br>individual members' strengths, coalescing into beautiful, complex songs. Goreshter continues to<br>innovate his bass style, effortlessly modernizing the instrument's melodic role, while still providing<br>an on-edge rawness and groove-filled momentum. Edwards' guitars serve to modulate the moods<br>throughout the record, constantly evoking feelings found in the space between emotions. And<br>Azar's sturdy, creative drumming (a phenomenon to behgld QII stage) c~ntinue2o n record with<br>plenty of hook beats - ferocious and delicate, at once.
