  1. 8.5 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    This band have arrived at a much more interesting and impressive place than they were six years ago, with a breadth and depth of work here that was missing on Future Perfect

  2. 8.0 |   NME

    The LA trio have branched out from the stoner-Sonic Youth feel of their excellent debut ‘Future Perfect’ to encapsulate ghostly piano ballads, twisted ambient lullabies

  3. 8.0 |   BBC

    Transit Transit is full of the sort of implausible leaps of imagination that normally only happen in your sleep
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   Q

    Vibrant and dynamic all at the same time. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   No Ripcord

    Coming from three fervent musicians giving it their all, Transit Transit’s ominous imagery really shines through as a collaborative effort

  6. 8.0 |   Consequence Of Sound

    A compelling exploration of the sonic territories of noise and ambiance

  7. 7.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    From the Sonic Youth-motivated guitar of “Census” to the Can-esque rhythm of “The Bouncing Wall,” Autolux not only subsume their influences, but through them they also discover unique permutations

  8. 7.0 |   AU Review

    After a six-year break change is only to be expected and on Transit Transit the overriding impression is one of sonic experimentation and a band finding a new voice

  9. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    An album you can play start to finish, with a definite end and beginning. It sounds crafted in a way a lot of albums aren't, and for that at least, Autolux deserves respect
    Read Review

  10. 6.5 |   Bowlegs

    Autolux finely shuffle their instruments and sounds into a deep, thick and highly inviting hand, but they are missing the trump card – a run of memorable hooks

  11. 6.0 |   Drowned In Sound

    Where Future Perfect knocked us right off our feet, Transit Transit doesn't seem to have the energy to even push us slightly to the left. We miss 2004's Autolux

  12. 5.6 |   Beats Per Minute

    Autolux have lost much of their charm on their second album by making a set of songs that, although gelling together consistently, rarely offer anything in the way of a catchy tune or even a clear single
    Read Review

  13. 5.4 |   Pitchfork

    The sound of three skilled musicians being all to careful not to step on each other's toes
    Read Review

  14. 4.0 |   Eye Weekly

    Without a memorable melody in sight, the cold-as-ice production values on Transit Transit make it a charmless exercise in shoegazing
    Read Review

  15. 4.0 |   Uncut

    The impression is of talented musicians, not great songwriters. Print edition only
