I've been listening to Kill Memory Crash's forthcoming LP American Automatic continuously for the past 24 hours or so... totally amazing. "The air of mystery about American Automatic is nearly tangible, underpinning the album's highly relevant focus on the darkness of the modern era. As such an affecting and rejuvenating fusion of rock, electro, and industrial styles, American Automatic will leave an indelible mark not only on the psyche and the dancefloor, but also on the scene from which it was born." Download the title track from the link above, then mark May 17th on your calendar and BUY IT. Just last night KMC held a release party in Chicago for the second single, Crash V8. (Sorry I'm a day late on that!) The Crash V8 12" is now available from Ghostly International and finer record stores.
