Arthur and Martha Autovia
Happy Robots 7”/download EP
Article
written by Ged M
Apr 20, 2008.
‘Autovia’, the name of both a Spanish highway and a failed British luxury car project of the 1930s, is a Kraftwerkian driving song from some imagined future where your atomic-powered aircar takes you to work in an office in low earth orbit. It radiates a languid, dreamy beauty not a million miles from the retro-futurist synth-pop of Adam Cresswell’s previous band, Saloon. He and former Dulok Alice Hubley together make appealing electronic pop music on a collection of vintage synths and drum machines. If you buy the vinyl, you’ll hear the New Order-ish electro sounds of ‘Japanese Kiss’, which just cries out for a video full of psychedelic fractals. But the download EP gives you those two plus the urgent and ultra-rhythmic ‘Squarewave to Heaven’, a trance-inducing stroke of pulse-pop genius that could almost persuade you that pure maths is the new rock’n’roll.
