Coachella 2008 Spotlight: Autolux

Autolux
Autolux destroyed the Outdoor Stage at Coachella with a batch of new songs -- turning our 'Turnstile Blues' into Sunday smiles.

It's been three and a half years since the release of Autolux's debut album, Future Perfect. Since then, the trio has toured with Nine Inch Nails, played the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in the U.K. and were recently asked to open for PJ Harvey in Russia this summer. Not a bad resume.

After the band's set at Coachella on Sunday the band revealed a handful of new songs that sound even more deconstructed and melodic than anything off their debut, and it sounded brilliant. "Headless Sky," "Audience No. 2," "The Science of Imaginary Solutions" and "Supertoys" gave fans a glimpse into album number two.

No one knows what the forthcoming album will be called, or the release date for that matter, but it turns out we're getting closer to a new Autolux full-length. In a MySpace bulletin last week, the trio revealed a message that its first single, "Audience No. 2," would be coming out shortly. Until then, you might want to check out Autolux on this bill.
