AUTOLUX - TRANSIT TRANSIT (LP)

Autolux Transit Transit On Vinyl LP

Transit Transit is the sophomore release by Autolux, the enigmatic Los Angeles-based trio whose debut, Future Perfect, was released to critical acclaim in 2004.  Autolux (Carla Azar: vocals/drums, Greg Edwards: vocals/guitar, and Eugene Goreshter: vocals/bass) produced Transit Transit themselves with Edwards serving as engineer. It was recorded in the band’s studio, Space 23, located near downtown Los Angeles.

There is a notable sonic progression throughout Transit Transit: vintage synthesizers and manipulated ambience glue central song components together, several tracks are built around piano, all three members take turns with lead vocals, harmonies are abundant, and there is even a bit of trumpet. 

Ultimately, Transit Transit is propelled by its individual members’ strengths, coalescing into beautiful, complex songs. Goreshter continues to innovate his bass style, effortlessly modernizing the instrument’s melodic role, while still providing an on-edge rawness and groove-filled momentum.  Edwards’ guitars serve to modulate the moods throughout the record, constantly evoking feelings found in the space between emotions.  And Azar’s sturdy, creative drumming continues on record with plenty of hook beats, ferocious and delicate, at once.
