Across Autosmile’s 11 songs, @ reimagine the psychedelic folk tradition as an undeniably contemporary art form, carefully balancing beauty and pain and shifting between black hole heaviness and patient understanding.

This is seen first via the album’s epic, nearly 7-minute lead single and title track ‘Autosmile’, released today. The song finds the band poeticizing a mysterious breakup into questions of demonology, employing interlocking vocal harmonies and warm acoustic passages that build in intensity as shimmering tambourine, guiro licks, and blistering guitar leads enter the fray. It arrives alongside an accompanying music video, which you can watch by clicking the image above.

Autosmile follows @’s 2021 debut album Mind Palace Music — displaying the duo’s penchant for confessional lyrics and affinity for blending digital and analog elements, the album was an organic success story via word of mouth praise and well-deserved press recognition. In 2024, @ released their subsequent EP Are You There God? It’s Me, @, where they diverted from their usual acoustic instrumentation to soul-searching on a sonic side quest into more electronic music. In the time since, the band has become an in-demand live act with support shows alongside Snail Mail, Cameron Winter, and Black Country New Road.
