Autolux are a three piece band consisting of Eugene Goreshter, Carla Azar, and Greg Edwards. Since they formed and began playing shows in early 2000, Autolux has gained much critical acclaim and respect on either side of the atlantic.
Autolux lives somewhere between nonconventional means and outer space. Lush, sonic meltdowns with melodies and lyrics that set themselves up for the long haul - vacillating between economy and experimentation, hybrid and rock classicism. Their first album, Future Perfect, was released on DMZ/Columbia in October 2004. DMZ was created by musician/producer T-Bone Burnett and the Coen Brothers. Shortly after signing the band, Burnett also took on the role as producer. Edwards describes his influences while working on Future Perfect -- "The sound of old elevators, an iron fence on a windy hill in Texas, the Doppler effect, and the geographical acumen of Peter Sellers."

After touring incessantly on Future Perfect, the band took a long break before diving into writing for their second full-length, Transit Transit.

Keeping themselves busy, Autolux teamed up with UNKLE on a song for the album War Stories, composed music for an exhibit at The Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles, called "Sonic Scenery", performed on Nigel Godrich's tv series From The Basement, and traveled to Russia to open for PJ Harvey. In February of 2008, Carla went into the studio with PJ Harvey and John Parish to play drums on their latest record, A Woman A Man Walked By.
Autolux recorded and produced the long overdue Transit Transit themselves and it is expected to come out later this year.
