LOWER AUTOMATION thought no one would like their new, self-titled debut full length. But just today, Bandcamp.com's mathcore tag has them listed at the top. Zegema Beach Records has sold out of 80% of their stock in less than a week. LOWER AUTOMATION is fucking amazing, and they were dead wrong about the reception. My personal pick still as the best album of 2021, the 10 songs run helter-skelter through a winding maze of angular riffs and trapdoors. Naturally, I needed to talk to them. We had a great conversation that touched upon many a thing, including: how Dave Norman became obsessed with the band, Derek is the most important, no one wants to play with Brian, covid vaccinations and the idiots who don't get them, Andy's band amalgamation, Riddle Of Steel and Dakota/Dakota, blasting the the third eye open, the Derek/chest voice, sounding like Jerry Seinfeld, video car game soundtracks, vocals and laryngitis, recording in a wooden cabin in the woods, adorable ovens, and lots more. Bands played in this podcast: Bodyjar, Choke, Divide And Dissolve, Hey Predator!, Kill Sadie and Minus The Bear.
