Touch Sensitive Records: Autumns – Dyslexia Sound System

Autumns - Dyslexia Sound System

Autumns Meets Post-Punkers Uptown. A couple of years after the Dyslexia Tracks EP, and following a volley of killer releases on labels such as Ideal, Death & Leisure, and Opal Tapes, Autumns returns to Touch Sensitive with perhaps his most complete set to date. Pitching down the BPM but maintaining the intensity of his recent recorded output and incendiary live shows, Dyslexia Sound System sees Christian Donaghey turn the edit on himself with a grip of eight dub-wave zingers.

Pulling from his love of On-U Sound, The Pop Group, and Public Image Limited, Dyslexia Sound System perfectly fuses dubbed-out dynamics with the tough and unrelenting electronics that has become Autumns’ signature sound. Guitars squall, clarinets skronk, vocals echo, roto-toms repeat, and – as always with Autumns – rhythm is king. Dyslexia Sound System is the sickest handbrake turn in Autumns’ relentless and wired journey to date.

Autumns – A Life Has No Glory

Autumns - A Life Has No Glory

Arcane and macabre outset for Autumns’ side “A Life Has No Glory”; “Be Desire”s vocal is indeed creepy solemn and sets the mood very vividly.

It continues with 2 with crushingly glacial heavy tunes that captures the Irish artist in constant flux. Ruthless but always occult-oriented; twilight tracks that confirm Autumns’ great traits: eerie industrial visions, with heavily post-punk ascending. Signs his side with “Found It”, frantic incantations erupted by a fierce and inexorable snare; and the composition becomes even epic.

Autumns’ side, sets up a lugubrious environment, a boundless night that will not be long in assuming mystical connotations. A5, is the crowing glory, delivered by Exhausted Modern covering an injected electro remix of “Be Desire”, such a broadening of the stylistic palette of the Prague’s artist. It’s a deep melodic twist which leaving the sceptre of the Todtentanz-danse ritual, destined to unite in a total, almost metaphysical oxymoron.

Detriti Records: Autumns – You Always Taught Me Better

Autumns - You Always Taught Me Better

Autumns is the solo project of Christian Donaghey, From Derry, Ireland, an outlet for electronic post-punk with a lethal pulse. After a brace of rough demos without preliminary hype, the project emerged fully formed on Karl O’Connor’s (aka Regis) illustrious label Downwards back in 2014, the youngest act in a new vanguard of artists that included the likes of Tropic of Cancer, DVA DAMAS and The KVB.

DKA Records: Autumns – Foyle Living

Autumns – Foyle Living

Autumns returns to DKA with a second cassette called “Foyle Living”. Hot on the heels of the full length “Shortly after Nothing” released on Death and Leisure. This tape showcases the more experimental side of Autumns. Eight songs culled from recording and practice sessions that combine the aesthetics of early Cabaret Voltaire and Throbbing Gristle pulse with a dissonant energy.

Autumns draws from a negative almost nihilistic approach to music. The hard EBM and Techno he produces pummels the audience while filling the dance floor. Over the punchy kick drums and minimal basslines, Christian’s voice flows through distortion and echo without restraint. To see Autumns, live is akin to witnessing an electronic equivalent to a Birthday Party show in the 80s. Like a young Nick Cave, Autumns end goal is a state in which the artist and audience gives into animal abandon.
