Automatic is an American synth-punk band hailing from Los Angeles, California, consisting of members Izzy Glaudini (synths, vocals), Lola Dompé (drums, vocals), and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals). The trio, who came together in 2017, quickly made a name for themselves with their propulsive and minimalist sound, drawing on influences ranging from post-punk to new wave and krautrock. Their music is characterized by motorik beats, darkly-tinged synths, and unison vocal melodies that create an encapsulating, almost hypnotic effect.

The band's emergence on the music scene was met with critical acclaim, notably with the release of their debut album, "Signal," in September 2019. They have since continued to refine their sound and expand their reach with a string of compelling releases and remixes. Notable tracks such as "Skyscraper," "Venus Hour," and "Excess" showcase their ability to blend stark rhythms with atmospheric textures, defining their edge within the modern underground scene. Collaborations with various artists for remixes of their work, such as Water From Your Eyes, Peanut Butter Wolf, and Sudan Archives, demonstrate Automatic's seamless integration with the broader tapestry of experimental and indie music. With each release, Automatic cements their status as one of the thrilling acts to watch in the evolving landscape of genre-bending music.
