Automatic – the Los Angeles trio of vocalist Izzy Glaudin, drummer Lola Dompé, and bassist Halle Saxon-Gaines – have announced their sophomore album. Excess is slated for release on June 24 via Stones Throw. Lead single ‘New Beginning’ is out now alongside a video directed by Ambar Navarro and inspired the Swedish sci-fi movie Aniara. Watch and listen below.
Excess captures the intersection between the ’70s underground and the corporate culture of the ’80s; “that fleeting moment when what was once cool quickly turned and became mainstream, all for the sake of consumerism,” according to the band. Glaudin added: “The record is about what happens to our psyches when we’re conditioned to certain values, the consequences of those values, and a desire to resist them.”
