In 2016, "One Batch Of Blues," their first stunning blues album, laid the foundations. The following year, "Bongoes And Tremoloes," the same proto-rock'n'roll, with the Sun 1953 sound and crazy percussion. Then in 2019, "Tripple Ripple," like everything that came before, but conquering new frontiers and space. And now Hum Drum, which enters the 70s and reaches a new level in the shape of a psychedelic spiral. The cover depicts the functions of the Hum Drum, the band's drum machine (non-contractual photo). Except that this machine doesn't exist in real life, only in Automatic City's unbridled imagination. And it's the same for the music. This record was born a little over a year ago, to emerge from the not-so-funky period of the health crisis. Like a desire to get back into it, with probably less blues, but more light, glitter, keyboards, drum machines, electricity and above all a groove that makes all the songs tremble. New references to be sought in vintage funk, liberated trips from the psychedelic era when electric guitar and sitar merged to make cowboys in bell-bottoms dance. A work of alchemists in search of the groove grail. They have both feet in it on Hum Drum, a breathless and frenetic record, rare and beautiful like a shower of multicolored shooting stars, which will be reflected for a long time in the eyes and ears of fans.
