AUTOBAHN share new video; announce London show

AUTOBAHN SHARE “SOCIETY” VIDEO VIA DIY

DEBUT ALBUM DISSEMBLE OUT NOW ON TOUGH LOVE; NEW HEADLINE LONDON SHOW CONFIRMED FOR DECEMBER

AUTOBAHN have today shared their video for “Society,” the current single from their debut LP Dissemble (out now on Tough Love). DIY, who premiered the video, commented that: “surrounded by sparklers, smoke bombs and enough strobes to make Diplo go dizzy, there’s a sense of unease threading through what looks like a bonkers party without hazard warnings.“

Director Sam Wiehl: “We wanted to create a performance video with AUTOBAHN – live they have really good intensity and we wanted to capture that. Craig is a really charismatic front man so it really worked with him singing in to camera and creating a dialogue with the viewer and also adding to the tension of the track. We were also interested in the movements of a small crowd – using this as an illustration and capturing the energy and interaction of being at a show.“

AUTOBAHN recently toured the UK, and the unveiling of the “Society” video coincides with the announcement of a headline show at London’s Sebright Arms venue on 1st December.

Following the release of two self-titled EPs over the past 12 months, AUTOBAHN recently released their hugely anticipated long-player. It was co-produced with Matt Peel over six intense weeks at The Nave the start of 2015, taking potentially unhealthy cues from the legacy of notorious obsessive, Martin Hannett. The result is an album that pushes the band through various degrees of light and shade, but ultimately into new, unexpected sonic spaces.
The North as both idea and identity is integral to what AUTOBAHN are, where post-industrial landscapes intersect with sudden wide open spaces, a place where community is central, but loneliness can be palpable. There’s a dark, oppressive edge to their music, but a hopefulness too. Sisters of Mercy, yes, but also brothers in arms.
Early EP releases presented a classic modern punk band with a penchant for death and glamour, and an impatience to be heard. Time and touring has afforded them the ability to shift gear significantly, and the renewed ambition of Dissemble stands as testament to that. The band were immediately a thrilling live force, but on this album they’re wider, more urgent when they want to be, more thoughtful when required.Dissemble is an appropriate title (meaning to conceal one’s true motives), because there’s something canny at work here. The surface suggests despair, but scratch deeper and the lyrics display a lightness of touch that skewers the over-earnest and overly-serious.
