Automatic - New Beginning 
Release Date: Out Now
First things first, let's just put out a public health warning around wearing metal swimsuits in water as shown in the press pic - it sounds like a rust nightmare waiting to happen. Now, on to the music. Trio Automatic (no 'the', different band) kick off new single 'New Beginning' with a simple bass line and sparse beat accompanied by deadpan cool vocals and it's a mix of the Long Blondes, the Fall, Joy Division and a whole host of art school bands. As the tempo picks up and a driving synth melody is introduced you can't help but get swept away in the stylish but stark aesthetic which fits very much in the retro-futuristic pigeon if you're looking for somewhere to post this. Seriously though, no more swimming in your tin speedos.
