This album was recorded in
the band's studio, Space 23, located near downtown Los Angeles. The album begins with it's title
track, an utterly unique concussion of rhythm, created from a looped sample of an old freezer
slamming shut and a simple round of chords from an upright piano. The hypnotic density of the
vocals and organic futurism of the instrumentation instantly rearranges any preconceptions about
the 'autolux sound'. There is a notable sonic progression throughout Transit Transit:
vintage synthesizers and manipulated ambience glue central song components together, several
tracks are built around piano, all three members take turns with lead vocals, harmonies are
abundant, and there is even a bit of trumpet. Ultimately, Transit Transit is propelled by its
individual members' strengths, coalescing into beautiful, complex songs.
Condition: NEW. Marked upc.
