Search - Autodrone :: Strike a Match

"Strike a Match combines the elements of indie rock, shoegazer, and experimental music into an easy to swallow depth charge. Required listening for fans of the post-punk era ... the perfect playlist for a walk in a wet garden at night." -- MyMixTapes.org [10/10 rating] "An astoundingly accomplished and confident piece of music from a band with a bright future. The record shows remarkably mature songwriting and very strong musicianship, and there's a raw energy and very honest feel that permeates every song on the record. Strike a Match is so deep and diverse that in all likelihood there is something on this album for everyone to enjoy, and for those who love the louder excesses of shoegazing rock in the vein of My Bloody Valentine, this album is a must hear." -- Absolute Punk [90% rating] "Like early New Order, without the techno fascination but with a great lead singer." -- New York Times Autodrone, formed in 2002, is based on a mutual love of dream pop and early '90s Brit rock. Seamlessly melding the sonic dynamics of noise and pop with throbbing bass lines, jagged synths, searing atmospheric guitars, and urgent banshee vocals, Autodrone has no problem reaching out from the stage, grabbing you by the throat, and screaming in your face-- even when they are only whispering. Their self-released EPs have quickly gained the attention of UK and US press, garnering universally favorable reviews while easily selling out of print. Strike a Match is Autodrone's latest studio effort. Their debut full-length is darker, denser, and more experimental--yet catchier and more hookladen-- than any of their previous work. The album has received a deluge of critical acclaim and made it onto multiple Best of 2007 lists, though it was unreleased at the time!
