@ [AT] have announced “Autosmile”, their second album and first for 4AD, out 16 October. The folk-pop duo of Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak share the near seven-minute title track today as the lead single, turning a mysterious breakup into questions of demonology as harmonies and acoustic passages build against tambourine, guiro and blistering guitar leads.
Nick Granata, a vocalist and organist with Shovel Dance Collective, announces their debut solo album, “My Heart is Running Backwards! A Martial Artist! With a Closed Fist! Woof!”, out 24th July via Double Dare, and shares double single “Rabbits! / Birdies!”.
On “Ten Signs”, Dan Haywood and Harvey Lord trade dizzyingly poetic lines across an album whose rhythm is particularly striking — both languorous and uptight. Spring birds twitter through the recordings; a casual charm runs throughout. Their guitar work is soulful and unpredictable, with instrumental breaks laddering between sections in a way that would have M.C. Escher shaking his head in baffled admiration.
