Beats Per Minute
This album is not served to us on a platter as a radio-ready hit record, and it is not made ‘for us’, but it gives us something better — the feeling of being a part of this music and not a mere recipient

Record Collector
The album’s framework goes thus: it starts and ends with amp crackle, evoking a band encountered mid-rehearsal. Within that context, Autofiction brims with noise and melody, alive in mind, body and feeling
