New Autolux

I'm very excited about the idea of a new Autolux record. I saw today they released a new single on myspace called Audience No 2. I listened to it several times on repeat. I like it quite a bit. It still has the distortion of the first album and the signature drum fills. I'm feeling the jump in energy on the hook. Let's see if it holds up as much as their first record once the lyrics sink in more.

I obtained tickets for the All Tomorrow's Parties festival in New York last week curated by My Bloody Valentine and one of the bands they chose was Autolux, that's all I needed to know to get tickets. I've been dying to see Autolux for awhile now.

I'm quite interested in how artists follow up a successful work. Autolux currently has the one album that I consider a great success. It wasn't maybe a huge commercial hit but I think they have continued to gain underground credibility. They've waited quite awhile to come with a follow up to Future Perfect and I haven't heard of them touring much at all. I hope they can do it and come out with another inspired record.

[UPDATE]
Here are the full correct lyrics Autolux has posted next to the track on the myspace page:

in between the thinking and the saying
threw away what i can't believe
tell me how you lose this feeling
all moods have been dealt and played
tell me how you lose this feeling
all hands have been cut and waved

i have always been your vegetable
and you my Swedenborg
i would drop myself through black holes
to end up at your door

there's no one else to get hung about
and there's nothing else makes you twist

you set yourself up
the lightening bolt hit
you watched yourself change
and no one's left to blame

the helicopter's spotlight shaking
hungry orson on the make
the less you put yourself in
the less you feel so fake

suddenly i'm alright
and it 's time for you to go

you set yourself up
the lightening bolt hit
you let yourself change
now everyone's to blame

and the gulf sign split the screen up
and the gulf sign split the screen up
and the gulf sign split the screen up
and the gulf sign split the screen up
and the gulf sign split the screen up

In between the thinking and the saying

tell me how you lose this feeling
all hands have been cut and _ _ _ _ _ _

I have always been your vegetable

There's no one else to get home back
and this nothing else makes you twist

....and no-one 's left to blame

The helicopter's spot-light checking
on every _ _ _ _ _ _ and on your wake
The less you put yourself in
the less you geel so fake

Suddenly I'm allright...
and it's time for you to go

Thanks for reminding me to listen to this track again. Here is my best shot at the lyrics. I only have a couple spots I wan't sure about.
-------------------------

In between the thinking and the saying
throw away I can't believe
tell me how you lose this feeling
all moods have been dealt and played
tell me how you lose this feeling
all hands have been cut and waived

I have always been your vegetable
and you my sweetened pork
I would drop myself through black holes
to end up at our door

There's no one else to get home without
and there's nothing else makes you twist

you set yourself fine?
the lightning bolt hits
you watch yourself change
and no one's left to blame

The helicopter's spot light shaking
on the house? and on the lake
the less you put yourself in
the less you feel so fake

Suddenly I'm alright
and its time for you to go

you set yourself fine?
the lightning bolt hits
you let yourself change
now everyone's to blame

And the golf signs split the screen ahhhh?
