Any fan of Autolux understands the pain and frustration that comes from waiting for a new album release.  So it is no minor news to present the new single “Audience No 2″ from Autolux’s TBD new album.  It’s been four years since Future Perfect was released, and although they did a lot of touring on that album it still lends the question - what took so long?  There were announcements on their site back in 2007 about the new LP, but nothing ever materialized.

Despite the TBD on both release date and title, Autolux have given us a treat to chew on while the main course is wheeled out, and boy is it tasty.  Within the first two bars of “Audience No 2″ it is clear that Autolux are still the band I know and love.  Taking cues from “Turnstile Blues,”Carla Azar delivers another haunting percussion beat, while Eugene and Greg come in with just the right bit of feedback and ghostly tone to make this album even more anticipated.  The recording on this song (and all of Future Perfect) sounds like it was performed in an abandoned warehouse on the moon, and yet they somehow manage to keep everything sonically perfect.  Enough of me, go enjoy the song.
