The Autumns are on Bella Union and they have a new 7" out called 'Boys'. I didn't get chance to play the album so this is my 1st exposure to 'em. It's very gentle sounding.... they sounds like a cross between Jeff Buckley & Mew. Super sensitive.... Lovely.

“BOYS” IS THE EXPLOSIVE NEW SINGLE FROM THE AUTUMNS. THE FIRST SINGLE FROM THE NEW ALBUM “FAKE NOISE FROM A BOX OF TOYS”, “BOYS” IS A THRILLING RIDE FROM START TO FINISH, AND IS JOINED BY A CATCHY NEW B-SIDE, “JOY”. (VINYL AS A ONE-OFF PRESSING).
CINEMATIC AND EVOCATIVE, LISTENING TO THE AUTUMNS IS AN INTOXICATING EXPERIENCE, TAKING THE LISTENER ON MAGICAL FLIGHTS OF MUSICAL FANCY. THEIR MUSIC SOARS, FILLED WITH MAJESTIC GUITAR LINES AND ELEGIAC MELODIES. VOCALIST MATT KELLY POSSESSES A TRULY ASTONISHING VOICE. HIS EFFORTLESS, ANGELIC FALSETTO AND THE POWER AND RANGE OF HIS VOCALS SHARE MUCH COMMON GROUND WITH THOSE OF JEFF BUCKLEY.
“FAKE NOISE FROM A BOX OF TOYS” IS THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE AUTUMNS SELF-TITLED THIRD ALBUM WHICH WAS RELEASED TO MUCH CRITICAL ACCLAIM IN LATE 2004… PRESS QUOTES BELOW:
“THIS IS ONE GLORIOUS ALBUM FROM A BAND WHICH CAN PRODUCE MUSIC THAT IS UNUTTERABLY BEAUTIFUL BUT ALSO HUGELY POWERFUL.”
MOJO – 4 STARS ****
“AN A&R MAN’S INDIE ROCK WET DREAM, REPLETE WITH A LAVISH PHALANX OF GUITARS AND SINGER MATT KELLY’S ACROBATIC FALSETTO PITCHED EQUIDISTANTLY BETWEEN JEFF BUCKLEY AND MUSE’S MATT BELLAMY. IMPRESSIVE STUFF.”
Q – 4 STARS ****
“MIXING SLIVERY GUITAR PATTERNS WITH RAGING FEEDBACK AND FX PEDALS, THE AUTUMNS SUCCESSFULLY HARNESS SHOEGAZING’S EUPHORIC TENDENCIES WITH SNOWPATROL / KEANE ANTHEMICS. SEARING DRAMA ROCK.”
