The members of the Los Angeles-based electro trio Autolux took a traditional approach when it came to assembling the songs on their new album Pussy’s Dead, which is produced by BOOTS (Beyoncé, Run the Jewels). They paid careful attention to sequencing and enlisted Aussie artist Anthony Lister to make sure the album cover art matched the music. “Soft Scene,” a song that pairs Portishead-like trip-hop with noisy guitars and metallic-sounding percussion while “Change My Head” mixes Beatles harmonies with Nirvana-inspired vocals. The tunes suggest the group’s singular approach. (Niesel)
