Automatic Children

06Jul10

Hello,

I’ve been listening to this New York band called Automatic Children.

If I had to pin down there music – and it would be tough – I’d have to say that it’s like a cross between the Rolling Stones and the Vivian Girls.

Evident are the Stones influence on songs like ‘Estrella’, with the thumping bass playing tight with the drums. Of the songs I’ve heard, they have the lo-fi slush, the grungey, gritty quality we all enjoy, which also can be found in Velvet Underground records. They wouldn’t seem out of place playing in Warhol’s Factory. Maybe it’s the ‘New York’ in them?

Make your own mind up by visiting their website and buying their records and watching this video:
