"It's
almost unimaginable that a band of this beauty could possibly
hail from the materialistic world of Los Angeles, but it's happened.
Bringing back all the class of This Mortal Coil-era 4AD with the
creative fury of shoegazing at its prime, The Autumns exist in
a world all their own, where words like "crossover potential"
have no meaning. The Autumns immerse their music in whirlwinds
of ethereal, wall-of-sound dreamscapes, letting their tunes cascade
in a manner that can only say, "Why, yes, a former
member of the Cocteau Twins DID produce this."; Simon Raymonde,
in fact, is the man behind the helm of the most recent Autumns
full-length, "In the Russet Gold of This Vain Hour."
Delicately forceful and gorgeously fragile, The Autumns remain
among the upper eschelon of American talent in the eyes and
ears of the dreampop-loving community."

"One of the greatest bands playing today."

(ON THE AUTUMNS PERFORMACE W/ SIMON RAYMONDE AT SXSW)
"Probably one of the best performances of the night, these
guys were excellent. The crowd seemed to respond the most to this
band... The absolute highlight...was when Simon appeared onstage
with them to sing Kangaroo and to play gutiar on the Coctear Twins
song Garlands. It was simply stunning. There are very few moments
in a live performance where you feel so...mesmerized. This was
one of them."
LA2NITE.COM
"Already
well-known among the LA club circuit, The Autumns have established
a giant fanbase who can be seen at shows swaying back and forth
to the music with their eyes closed and heads drooped like junkies
on the nod. Anyone who listened to the psychedelic yet dreary
shoegazer bands of the early 90s such as Ride, Slowdive, and My
Bloody Valentine will love the Autumns."

AGOGO.COM (ARTIST OF THE MONTH)
"The Autumns have that rare combination of commercial viability
and artistic credibility with which we all want to associate ourselves...
unusually atmospheric and evocative songs... The Autumns are
a word-of-mouth phenomenon."
WALL
OF SOUND
In the British Fag Rock tradition, the Autumns are a fantastic
group...remarkably filling music, the Autumns are a sure bet for
all you Top 5 faithfuls.
MEHMAG
"The Autumns excel in a shoegazer-ish wall of fuzz sound
that still assaults you days later, resonating distortion bouncing
around inside your skull, I thought they were truly phenomenal,
go if you can make it; but be prepared to dream in fuzz the entire
next week."
