Autodrone

Add Date: November 18

Artist: Autodrone

Album: Strike a Match

Label: Tone vendor

Genre: Noise rock

Comments: The riff that begins "Strike a Match" worried me, as I thought it wouldn't sound out of place for Boxcar Racer (I totally liked Boxcar Racer, too; what a tool), but thankfully they devolve into My-Bloody-Valentine-meets-Sonic-Youth style, well, drone. Their singer sounds like Kim Gorden meets Karen O, or at least from what I can hear of her beneath the fuzz, feedback, and reverb. They do occasionally overdo it - see track 3 which is literally nothing but drone - but there are some gems beneath the white noise on here. Check out 1 and 4.
