Stream the New 7″ from Autumns

blondeAutumns find their home on one of my favorite micro-labels, CF Records; it’s home to Sea Pinks, if that says anything.  The Derry band have this dark post-punk, though they don’t seem entirely infatuated with your typical swirl of reverb and atmospherics. The vocals do seem to be hidden beneath the mix, in an intoxicating manner that creates a brooding sensation; it gives several of the tunes an old-school feeling you’re like to enjoy.  If I had to pick a favorite from the 4 songs presented below, I think the opening number “Je Vous Etre” is definitely the stunner, though the rest all has something to offer.

New Music from Autumns
