I still remember finding this band in 2006, only because the singer of my then favorite band Tool, Maynard James Keenan, thought them to be smth like the most interesting band of that time. Thanks for that, after 20 years their debut is still amazing, and Plantlife & Here Comes Everybody still my absolute favs.
*exact* *same* *for* *me* but its now 2022 :o HOWWWWW lollll ...I have been a huge Radiohead fan since 1999 and like any possible remotely connected band....some how this reallly slipped under my radar and I cannot fathom how!!!
Of all my good friend with such wonderful music taste, super compatible with mine, no one has ever heard of autolux. So grateful for whatever algorithm blessed me with them
First time hearing this and it made my heart smile. Always, a great thing to ask folks to send music that they enjoy as an icebreaker. Glad to have this been shared with me, and plan on passing along this bands music to others.
Well said mate. She’s one of the greatest drummers I’ve ever heard or seen. For sure. You’d only understand it though if you play music or drums specifically.
i just stumbled across this video but think you guys are having a laugh, she's a competent drummer sure, but it's not like she's larnell lewis or flo mounier, they have a good band sound together which makes her sound powerful
@@hughmcgown did I say she’s the best female drummer in the world or something? I’m not comparing her to anyone. she suits the band very well. autolux is a very hypnotic and understated band with flourishes of noise and Karla punctuates and accentuates those aspects perfectly. i can name a dozen drummers in the same genre from bigger acts that don’t contribute nearly as much to my enjoyment of their albums.
@@ARMTOAST not comparing her to anyone but the dozens you could name okay then haha, i think yall are exaggerating but whatever maybe i need to see more videos of them
@@hughmcgown i wasn’t comparing before but then i did for clarity. and i said a dozen. to rattle some off the top of my head, i think Ringo Deathstarr, Astrobrite, Drop Nineteens, Chapterhouse, Airiel, Catherine Wheel, Fleeting Joys, LSD and the Search for God, Pale Saints, and even Medicine get less out of their drummers than Autolux does, on their first two albums in particular. a lot of that is stylistic to be sure, but my point stands. Listen to Audience No. 2 and youll hear how much the drums carry that song from a filler track to something memorable.
i hate my life, i'm a great fucking dummer, and i can't find a band like this one, to play with. distortion, and good melodies. at 01:38, fuck! more volume!, quickly!.
I love music like this and will play like this guitar or bass anything i will do and with passion lets start a band im in alabama and weeks away from being homeless ill move use up credit and take loans and make it happen.
I am seemingly unable to not have this song in my consciousness for any given 5 minutes for the last three days after hearing it for the first time. Help?
Search for _Autolux Live at Third Man Records_ ...it's on iTunes/amazon/googleplay. This song is on it! also Capital Kind of Strain, Subzero Fun, Blanket... they all sound great!
THIS is why I think the first album has infi itely better production for them than the later 2...on "FP", they used T-Bone Burnett, who talked them out of their intended method of doing everything very methodically, piece by piece, and convinced them to go for capturing their live sound in the room without a lot of artificial layering/punch ins. After the 1st record, he was gone, and so was that philosophy. Still amazing live though
Man, amazing comment. Indeed the production on their first album is totally perfect, as an engineer I often use it as a reference. Also their first record was mixed by Dave Sardy who is quite an amazing mix engineer ! :) I don't really enjoy their later releases, maybe the "live" factor is the reason.
@darkd0g3 are you fking kidding me?! that breakdown is one of the best breakdowns ever! the moment that bass kicks in it's pure bliss, you're up in the sky. And then they add the sexy, almost cruel, lyrics "shut your mouth" until it burst down into busting that chord and then the spacey outro. I agree it doesn't come on that well in this performance, but you should check the cd version, I've been spacing out of my mind to this track for years. Bottomline, this song IS perfect
Some old Cursive. Some Modest Mouse. Pavement. Sunny day real estate!!! Some Sparta, try "im a loner Dottie, a rebel" by the get up kids, and they have other good stuff.
Looks like a home refinish. You could have one like it if you want! My guess is the sounds comes from guitarists hands and pedals mostly, maybe the Twin reverb a bit
Yeah that would make sense; I do know that they both use random noise generator-type pedals. I'd give my first born child to sit down with the band for 30 minutes, and see their setups.
@Nickazz i've listened to the album version more than this one, and i still end up thinking that the breakdown's lacking something..the drums and guitar seem especially out of place. the outro is great as well, though. anyway, it'd be boring if we all agreed :P

most under-appreciated band in the world.
Is failure...
@@leonbingel1340 failure is whatever.
Autolux’s first album is amazing though
@@vdoza33 failure fuckin slap
@@leonbingel1340 Failure is super boring in comparison to Autolux.
yes.

😊
greg's guitar tone is criminal
That damned snare blocking Carla's spread is criminal!
@@chuckbeers agreed lol
Greg is a guitar wizard
@@sinisterzero7963 idk about that.
You must not play guitar.
@@vdoza33 so what if i don't? I can appreciate someone who does and i don't give a fuck what you think
I just now stumbled onto this band... in 2020. How did I miss this band? I must be living under a rock. This is outstanding!
no no... theyve just been under this rock. youre safe here.
same with me
*exact* *same* *for* *me* but its now 2022 :o HOWWWWW lollll ...I have been a huge Radiohead fan since 1999 and like any possible remotely connected band....some how this reallly slipped under my radar and I cannot fathom how!!!
I just found them. Holy shit so many good songs.
I didn't find out about them until 2013-2014 and I only just found out today they've been around since 05'! We're catching up now 😆❤️
Of all my good friend with such wonderful music taste, super compatible with mine, no one has ever heard of autolux. So grateful for whatever algorithm blessed me with them
I don't know why, but my two cats seem to LOVE Autolux...
All other accolades dim into insignificance when compared to this!
I do believe I've been watching this on a continuous loop for two days, and have no future plans to stop.
imfromthefuture.
me too
We all need Autolux, they have such a unique and beautiful sound
This is absolutely sublime. Perfect. This band is criminally underrated.
Criminally. Lol.
Greg Edwards is a motherfucking LEGEND. This is amazing
This sounds like Radiohead jamming with Thurston Moore.
A pretty impressive feat for a 3 piece band. 😌
Thurston wishes he were this good
First time hearing this and it made my heart smile. Always, a great thing to ask folks to send music that they enjoy as an icebreaker. Glad to have this been shared with me, and plan on passing along this bands music to others.
Man, Karla fuckin drives this song so well. She's so powerful yet so cautious, it's like watching a doberman balance a piece of meat on its nose.
Well said mate. She’s one of the greatest drummers I’ve ever heard or seen. For sure.

i keep coming back........a brilliant tune
I just found this song/band today im in love with it
Have you listened to Failure yet?
it's a very excellent band, i like the simple cadences, and precision in the drums, very fine!
i hate my life, i'm a great fucking dummer, and i can't find a band like this one, to play with. distortion, and good melodies. at 01:38, fuck! more volume!, quickly!.
so did you find a band?
MOVE TO AUSTIN! ( only if you are a good drummer.) We always need them.More techies, not so much....
I too am a well above average drummer without a band...
I love music like this and will play like this guitar or bass anything i will do and with passion lets start a band im in alabama and weeks away from being homeless ill move use up credit and take loans and make it happen.

Greg is pure gold
sounds a little like placebo. and carla azar's amazing as she did an amazing work with jack white. gr8 musicians
Her drumming w Josh Homme & co is also amazing on the desert sessions.
Great great great melodies. Perfect vibe
Another band this dude named Josh got me into. His taste in music is awesome
hows josh doin?
shoutout to Josh
it’s me, josh. you’re welcome
@@jagtv1014 you rock
Josh
Still watching in 2024!
I absolutely love this song!
I needed this in this specific moment of my life.
Greg Edwards is such a hoss
Greg Edwards is one of my favorites. He's a beast
this live rendition is sooooooooo much better than the studio release...........Autolux should consider recording live
Search for _Autolux Live at Third Man Records_ ...it's on iTunes/amazon/googleplay. This song is on it! also Capital Kind of Strain, Subzero Fun, Blanket... they all sound great!
tx!
also on spotify

This band opened for my favorite band The Raveonettes back in mid 2000s and they awesome once they fix some technical issues!
here to chime in from 2022, Autolux = Definition of Badass
got some radio head, nine inch nails, interpol vibes. I like.
antdujar totally! I get some pretty sonic youth/placebo vibes as well. But the singer sings like Elliot Smith, which is great! Rip
well they did tour with nin one time
also for me it gives silversun pickups vibes
If only Thurston Moore had a patent on his guitar sounds....and that's a compliment. Great band and awesome track.
These guys shuffled with Ok Computer and My Bloody Valentine would go together well I think :)
sonic youth vs stereolab
Best set of this song, still remember watching it years ago on IFC.
Wow!!! I never saw this!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woah that looks almost identical to my refinished '69 SG I used to have! I had to do a double take haha I think it's time to go silver sparkle again
Definitely some Swervedriver and My Bloody Valentine in their sound/production.
sonic youth meets my bloody valentine meets radiohead........nuff said.
This song, inescapable from my consciousness for two days..
I've asked the same thing so many times. The only thing I can think of is that it's pre-recorded in some sort of sampler.
everybody know groups with similar sound?DEPRESSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL
KOMPOS you should try Failure, amazing band
Mew and Silversun Pickups
Some old Cursive. Some Modest Mouse. Pavement. Sunny day real estate!!! Some Sparta, try "im a loner Dottie, a rebel" by the get up kids, and they have other good stuff.
sebadoh
beach house, elliott smith, radiohead
i love underrated song
I like this before it even starts playing
Mylon god
wow finally autolux live in great quality :D
ive been watching this for ten years
awesome version
Still Rockin in 2022
here I am again :D
Delicious Kraut rock flavoring.
bel sound ..bravi
I want that SG to bad
Looks like a home refinish. You could have one like it if you want! My guess is the sounds comes from guitarists hands and pedals mostly, maybe the Twin reverb a bit
Do it, it's so worth it
Always wondered how they get such massive sound from a 3-piece?
Super cool
my favorite band. wish i was in it!
hell yea i's seeing them tomorrow at the Echoplex !!!
underrated band rrrrrhhhhh
I found my way back 😌
love your music!!
@jflipskater05 That's what makes it different though. I like how unexpectedly chill it is.
Fantasique!!
A mashup of PlantLife and Apocalypse Blooms would sound awesome
This so nearly makes sense it hurts.
Truly amazing
que buen sonido!!!
fuck what a song
Brilliant!
Lead singer looks like triple G, and guitarist looks like a mix of Adam Jones from tool and Johnny greenwood from radiohead!
Fucking awesome band. How is it, though, that Greg Edwards looks younger now than when he was in Failure 15 years ago?
Must be the heroin. 🤷🏻♂️
So good
Astoundingly amazing!
This song sounds like Sonic Youth. This is not a bad thing.
Don't really hear the Sonic Youth others hear. Which song?
Yeah that would make sense; I do know that they both use random noise generator-type pedals. I'd give my first born child to sit down with the band for 30 minutes, and see their setups.
Spacey.
@iwyrith Dude, chill. Ok Computer if not a band I haven't heard of, is one of the most epic albums by Radiohead.
THANK YOU for uploading this!
These guys were great. shame the singer got caught trafficking coke
sabem muito 😳💌
Thanks to Maynard James Keenan I now know of this band.
He was a massive fan of Greg’s first band, Failure. Tool brought Failure on like three tours cause Maynard was such a big fan. Fun fact!
OMG totally in love
Atmospheric!
It is some strange pedals on Eugene's bass I think.
woww
Hey are you reading this? do u remember ¿?
I love Autolux. But the audio here is very low.
Puscifer brought me here.
somebody explain me that have 16 ppl who dont like this master piece??
is that the guitar player from failure??
IM GOING INSANE🤣🤣😂😂
Like Radiohead from the basement..
6,000 guys tried to look up Karlas dress.
Any interpretations guys? I'm not sure how to view this one ..
@mdeboard1
shoegaze !
this shit is crazy
@Orangecube23 what do you mean for band to be 'being shuffled with ok computer' ?
malaysia . ada org malaya suara manoo !
@Nickazz i've listened to the album version more than this one, and i still end up thinking that the breakdown's lacking something..the drums and guitar seem especially out of place. the outro is great as well, though. anyway, it'd be boring if we all agreed :P
@Orangecube23 what do you mean by 'with OK Computer' ? ; |
@mellowtonen Greg loops stuff alot
Carla is the real shit
