Automatic is a trio of female musicians from Los Angeles who have been attracting the attention of fans and critics alike in recent years with their original combination of post-punk, no-wave and retro futuristic elements. The band consists of Izzy Glaudini (vocals, synths), Halle Saxon-Gaines (bass, vocals) and Lola Dompé (drums, vocals), daughter of the drummer of the legendary Bauhaus.
Music media outlets such as Pitchfork, MOJO, The Skinny and KCRW have praised Automatic for managing to draw from the rich history of post-punk and new wave without slipping into mere nostalgia. They are often praised for their ability to fuse dance grooves with darker elements and serious themes, creating music that is both meaningful and accessible to a wide range of listeners. As a result, the trio has built a reputation as one of the most original bands on the American alternative scene today, and are one of the names whose evolution on the music scene will be closely watched in the coming years.
Their debut album Signal from 2019 quickly gained the attention of fans thanks to its precise sound and intense atmosphere. The second album Excess (2022) again moved their work towards bolder production, stronger vocals and a clearer melodic line. Lyrically, they explored themes of consumerism, the climate crisis and the sense of loneliness in the modern world. This earned the band the respect not only of music journalists, but also of a wider audience who appreciated the band's ability to combine catchy melodies with truthful, honest lyrics. In addition, the band is set to release their highly anticipated album "Is It Now?" on September 26th, which they introduced with the successful singles "Lazy," "Mercury" and the eponymous "Is It Now?". As part of their European tour, Automatic will also bring the new album to Prague's Bike Jesus club on 25 November 2025.
