“Autopolitan (the band AND the album) have the appeal of mixing grit with early 2000’s new wave / garage rock trends, which ends in a place of “wow this is depressing, but MAN do I want to dance to it!” The album starts off with “As It Were”, which sort of sounds like The Strokes doing a Joy Division impression, which I never really knew I needed to hear until I was graced by the presence of this excellent work. This “sad garage rock” vibe continues throughout most of the album, but I must make it clear that the songs stand on their own. Many albums fail to create separation between the individual tracks, which basically makes me feel like I listened to a really long jam session that should be cut down to about 8 minutes of ear-catching material. “autopolitan” is a great example of the opposite, an album in which each track stands on its own while also maintaining a consistent atmosphere.” –musicianstakenote.blog
