I love finding new music. I distract myself from what I should be doing all the time by looking for new music. There is so much out there, and if you think about how much is out there it will probably blow your mind and you’ll fall to the floor. Collapse into some kind of trance because you cannot handle the concept of how much is out there. Is there enough time to hear it all? Well that depends doesn’t it. I want to hear as much as possible, I want to find new bands to write about and fall in love with. This is why I don’t sleep, this is why I go to bed at 3am. I know it isn’t healthy or wise, but I do fit in a nap in the afternoon so it’s fine.

Apart from finding new music on my own, I love it when a band gets in touch with me and asks me to check their music out. This happened a few days with Automatic Writing.

I love anything that sounds brutal and menacing. I love music that can frighten you but at the same time, grips you in a way that makes you never ever want to let go. I felt all of this within first listen on Continuous by Automatic Writing. I don’t feel like I am listening to a band from 2011 when I listen to them. I feel like I’ve raided my stepdad’s New Romantic/80’s Goth synth based music collection again. So for me, this is perfect. Everything about what I am hearing here from Automatic Writing just oozes nostalgia, something most fear. I welcome it. I love the deep vocals and the dark synths.

If you want music that is going to mess with your mind and break your heart, then you need Automatic Writing in your collection. Crystal Visions and Control throttle you within secinds with its dark and romantic sound. Don’t believe me? Check out their Souncloud page.

I love Depeche Mode and Cold Cave, mix them together and what do you have? Automatic Writing. Whilst everyone fell in love with the supposed darkness of Hurts- the brothers in Automatic Writing were digging a hell of a lot deeper and creating something bigger and better.

So if you love music that is  sort of pop but quite dark and mysterious, then get to know the handsome brothers that make up Automatic Writing.
