Autolux is a three-piece rock band from Silverlake, a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Their music is meticulously produced, and because of its typically slow tempos, guitar effects, and soft vocals, it is often categorized as shoegaze.
Career
Since they were signed to their first record deal after playing a live show that impressed respected producer T-Bone Burnett, Autolux's music has connected them to a huge amount of established artists. Their first label was co-owned by Burnett and the Coen Brothers. They have toured with Nine Inch Nails, and played with the likes of Elvis Costello, The White Stripes, and Beck
