Hey, this CD's got a remix on it by ex-Communard Dave Renwick so anything else is just gravy. Having said that, Autorotation do make it quite easy to say nice things about them with their totally agreeable take on the overcrowded genre of neoambientdreampoptronicaDM. For the most part they're rocking a chorused-up guitar sound right out of an 80s 4AD record but the electronics that go on around them aren't a token 'indie dance' gesture, the tracks are clearly built from the ground up with the various elements' interplay in mind and for the most part it works a Laika-ish treat. Everything is Everything turned out to be a pleasant surprise in handsome digipak trousers.

What their label says...

The idea that became Autorotation was born in Toronto some years ago  
when multi-instrumentalists/producers Robyn Sellman and Igor Olejar  
met through their work in ambient electronica, IDM, dreampop, and  
film music.

Fast forward to 2007 when they escaped the restrictive trade laws of  
the USA and moved to Deptford, London in search of like-minded  
musicians and a more tour-permitting market.

Robyn and Igor are now joined by Phil Stutely on the bass, and  
Kaloian Bukov on the drums.  Experimenting and blurring the  
distinctions between groove, noise, orchestration and vocalisation,  
they transform their live shows into audio-visual spectacles with  
large projection screens, complex electronic set-ups and captivating  
performances.  But, they can, and do, unplug, simplify and play their  
acoustic sets in a middle of a field.

Everything Is Everything is Autorotation's first full-length  
release. Best described as Kate Bush singing on a Sigur Ros track  
that was remixed by Aphex Twin, while being drowned in a sea of  
shoegazeness by the Cocteau Twins.  The album features eight moody,  
politically-charged cinematic songs that are multi-layered, harmonic  
and mechanised, with soaring female vocals counter-pointed by melodic  
bass lines, fortified by driving beats and spiced with digital glitches.

The album also includes two remixes, one by Dave Renwick (ex  
Communards) and the other by Norway Pumpkin from Japan, who was the  
winner of Autorotation's on-line remix competition."
