I was browsing around on the internet the other day and came across the Nine Inch Nails’ friends playlist on YouTube. I’m quite familiar with Ladytron, and consider myself a fan, and Queens of the Stone age, but nothing else really struck a chord. Eventually, I clicked on the video for “Turnstile Blues” by Autolux (below). Anything with “blues” in the title has to be at least okay, right? Well, it wasn’t blues and it borders much more on My Bloody Valentine’s dream pop/shoegazing. The soft vocals and guitar mesh well with strong precise drumming. The last album was released in 2006, but a new one is apparently in the works. Enjoy.
