Let me tell you a story about the first time i was introduced to marijuana. It was a warm day in may, we were driving in my friends white ford focus (god bless aaron and his damn ford focus) we'd just gone all the way out to some rural middle of bum fuck neighborhood to score some pot and on the way back we decided we were going to smoke that shit. Nobody had a piece and all we could find was an old orange soda can that had most likely been in the car for days. That being said the sun was setting, we were wizzing by farm after farm, listening to this great fucking cd that seemed to never end. Every song seemed to collide in a good way into the next. I had my window of the backseat down, my hair blowing in the wind god damn i was feeling GREAT! nothing could stop us and if it could I wouldnt have cared one way or the other. I asked my friend "hey aaron who is this?" To which i got the best reply possible "man this is fucking autolux." "Well turn that shit up man," i remember saying. The song that stood out the most was "asleep at the trigger" which i searched high and low for on youtube to find a video for and thank god i did because if you've never heard autolux before you are truely missing out. It sounds relatively cheesy to say but this is one of those cds that could never get old for me and i find myself re-living the past with every song. The smell of the weed, febreezed soaked leather seats, remembering the skyline... The whole nine yards. The setup for Autolux is quite minimalist, but the sound is large, the noises are incredible and this is dream pop at its best. I thought this was one of those cds you could only listen to if you were high and I'm proving myself wrong all the time.
