“As genre shapeshifters, they prove themselves with their energy flows from blues to space rock and funk, and much more. The album is like a journey through the band’s musical ideas, which have been refined down to the smallest detail.”

The trio, consisting of musicians from the Martin Ramoveš Band and Prismojeni profesorji bluesa, has brightened up the local guitar scene in the past year. Their vision of psychedelic/garage/blues rock with a touch of noise and Middle Eastern influences was presented on their self-titled debut album for Ljubljana’s Kapa Records in 2024. Auto draws inspiration from various parts of rock history, from Anatolia to Seattle, from Floydian moments to blues, krautrock, desert rock and funk. They sometimes spice up their intricate instrumental dialogues with Tom Waits-inspired vocals.
