Conceived in and born from Austin's steamy underground
houses of rock, Auto Body is the incarnation of a new brand of Indie Electro
Fusion. Armed with a war chest of pounding beats, crunchy synths, dripping
vocals, and irresistible melodies, the performance duo of vocalist/producer
Thibault Bowman and keyboard wizard/live bassist Felix Moreno crusade the music
landscape in search of the electronic Holy Grail...
Say What You Will marks a transformation for
self-proclaimed digital blood brother's Thibault Bowman and Felix Moreno. One
that took them from two kids getting fucked up in a South Austin garage making
quirky, face-pounding beats until their ears bled to focused, manically driven
song craftsmen in a Brooklyn basement wringing out broken hearts into the song
machine to create something that can justify two years defined by shockingly
similar personal losses. They will tell you they've survived because of each
other, and because of the music they've created, but that survival was doubted
many times in the dark valleys they treaded; sometimes alone, but never far
from the other. The themes the two navigated in these five songs spin tales of
death, pain-drenched love, loss, apathy, revenge, light, addiction, redemption,
and vindication, but not necessarily in that order.
From the bouncing title track's Hot Chip via Yeasayer
anthemic chant of "Say what you will but I'm not a killer, no!" to
the fuming electro Brit-rock bravado of aching pounder "The Drop",
it's clear that wings of sonic diversity have deliberately been spreading in
the Auto Body camp since their debut EP Priest Party. And if the
silky waves of vocal layers draped across growling synths in "Can't Forget
You" incite flashes of Empire Of The Sun in a fist fight, while the spooky
concussive steam engine of "Get Back" inspire an undeniably creepy
adrenaline rush, and the swelling horns over gargling verses on "Holding
Out" evoke a David Bowie vs. TV On The Radio underwater death match in
David Byrne's living room...then you understand where this work is coming from.
In short, Say What You Will represents not
just the sonic maturity of a pair of dangerous songsmiths, but the most
personal music the two have ever written...
The self-released EP will be available for free download on
May 15th. Banging release parties to follow in Chicago and Austin. Bring your
dancing shoes along with anything else you need to have a good time and shake
your hips over to Beauty Bar in Chicago on May 17th or join Auto Body in their
