Biography

[edit]

The three band members met while immersed in L.A.'s DIY music scene and started playing live in 2017, taking their name from the track "Automatic" from The Go-Go's album Beauty and the Beat.[4] The group signed to Los Angeles label Stones Throw in June 2019.[5]

Dompé is the daughter of Bauhaus drummer Kevin Haskins.[6] She joined her first band, art-rock outfit Blackblack, when she was 13.[7]

Automatic announced their debut album Signal with the release of their first single "Calling It" on June 3, 2019. The band put out two more singles, a cover of Delta 5's "Mind Your Own Business"[8] and title track "Signal", before releasing the album on September 27, 2019. Pitchfork described Signal as "an exercise in post-punk and no-wave galvanism".[9] The band released Signal Remixes on March 26, 2021, which included reworks from artists such as Peanut Butter Wolf, Sudan Archives, Peaking Lights, Osees' John Dwyer, and Kevin Haskins.[10]

On March 8, 2022, Automatic announced their new album Excess with their first single "New Beginning". Stereogum described "New Beginning" as "'60s pop kitsch".[11] The group followed it up with their second single "Venus Hour"[12] on April 7, 2022. Excess was released on June 24, 2022 on Stones Throw.
