Automatic is back. Izzy, Halle, and Lola return with “Is It Now?” the first song from their upcoming album of the same name set to release later this year. For “Is It Now”, they collaborated with producer Loren Humphrey (Cameron Winter, Nice As Fuck, Arctic Monkeys) for a sound that the band describes as “deviant pop”.
Listen: Automatic – Is It Now?
“The thing I think about the most on a day-to-day basis is: how do you have a sense of joy while the world seems to be collapsing, and you feel so powerless?” Izzy says, “I feel like, as American citizens, we have a responsibility to pull the levers to stop the machine. ‘Is It Now?’ is about trying to not feel like a victim in this environment. It’s important to still feel a sense of joy, even amongst all the horrible shit going on in the world.”
Automatic is co-headlining a tour with Sextile this fall. Tickets are on sale now.
