VIDEO// Autoheart: Control

I shared Autoheart's 'Control' as an MP3 last month, but here is the long-awaited video for it! It's a four minute indie-pop gem, and the video highlights that to unparalleled effect! My eyes reflect back nostalgic clips that crackle and blur under summer sun and a film of dust that makes every second feel like uncovering memory after beautiful memory. Watching a heart-broken man sing of a floundering relationship is a concept all too common in todays pop music, but Autoheart seem to have ran their fingers along enough love-induced scars to accurately relay the pain felt beneath them. Keyboard melodies splash against the side of 'Control', every so often breaching the edge under the winds of a passionate storm. It's a great music video to a brilliant number!

MP3// Autoheart: Control

Danton Supple should be a familiar name for any Coldplay fan. The producer of 'X & Y', a classic album for many, Supple's talent looks set to place Autoheart's debut on a pedestal of similar acclaim! 'Control' is the lead single from this forthcoming record and at a current download price of absolutely nothing, it's well worth checking out. A quintet formed in East London Autoheart record a rather brilliant form of indie pop, laden with keyboard melodies and lead singer Jody's melancholy vocals. Previously known as The Gadsdens, the group has fortunately traded that in for a name much easier to pronounce. Fear not however, for a shift in style just doesn't seem to be on the cards for Autoheat and it's just as well! Their previous single 'The Sailor Song' was met with widespread praise, and after listening to it I too wanted to hear more of that same lush, beautiful sound. 'Control' didn't disappoint. An incredible number backed by great bass and subtly danceable drums, these four minutes moot a relationship predestined to flounder. It's a relatively common lyrical theme but then Autoheart manage to lend it a whole new lease of life, and I adore them for doing so. The melody for the chorus is a bit on the unimaginative side from 0.55 to 1.05, but the quibble is hardly worth mentioning when you consider the rest of the song. It's magnificent, quietly sad and everything in between. Extremely strong and yet ever so delicate, 'Control' dries heart-broken tears with its promise of hope.
