Automatic – Is It Now? (Vinyl)

Automatic pick up where others hold back. There is no template – no copy and paste function for artists like this. Is It Now? thumps through an innumerable variety of instruments, samples and loops. At times, the lyrics and overall sense of the songs get lost, but there is a feel here that they already know that and, well, don’t seem perturbed by it. If you can’t beat them, then play a different game – and Automatic are ready to stand on their own field and do whatever rises to the fore.
If you’re looking for a fresh take on 808 State, New Order and, to an extent, Kraftwerk – then this is recommended. There’s an unconventionally effortless cool about this type of sound and Automatic have stepped into their own with this. (atthebarrier.com)
