The Automatic
Automatic is the trio of Izzy Glaudini (synths, lead vocals), Lola Dompé (drums, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals).
Automatic’s second album Excess rides the imaginary edge where the ‘70s underground met the corporate culture of the ‘80s – or, as the band puts it, “That fleeting moment when what was once cool quickly turned and became mainstream, all for the sake of consumerism.” Using this point in time as a lens through which to view the present moment, Excess takes aim at corporate culture and extravagance.
The overarching themes of alienation and escapism emerged as Automatic put Excess together, taking writing retreats to flesh out the new songs before decamping to the studio for sprint recording sessions with producer Joo Joo Ashworth (Sasami, FROTH).
On “New Beginning” – inspired by the Swedish sci-fi film Aniara – they reject the false hope of leaving behind a scorched planet and searching for “a better place,” at a moment when the ultra-rich are eyeing manned space travel: “In the service of desire / We will travel far away.” The song and accompanying video imagine the “nihilism and loneliness” of attempting to escape the planet once unchecked consumerism has reached its logical outcome.

Sex MaskVague pop instilled with the ancient genius of your own blood. Sex Mask holds the many trigger words your CIA handler doesn’t want you to know. We have several testimonials from fans attesting to semi-mystical experiences, some claim it to be Deja vu from a genetic memory long dormant and locked, Others speak of foreshadowed flashes of a past life they are yet to have lived. All of this, incited after only seconds of exposure to any of our available songs.
is Sex Mask just another egregious attempt from delusional solipsists at being heard while saying close to nothing? Yes. But we make it look good. Part Taoist riddle, part lone gun-mans manifesto. We are also a post punk/alt rock band from Melbourne.

The Dharma ChainThe Dharma Chain are an Australian-formed, Berlin-based independent band blending psychedelic textures, shoegaze, rock, and kraut-driven momentum with poetic lyricism and raw live energy. They’ve built a reputation for emotionally charged performances that feel expansive and immersive.
With no fixed front person, the band moves fluidly between roles. Mixed vocals, hip-hop drum beats, reverb-soaked guitars, and industrial undercurrents collide to create a powerful wall of sound that is dynamic, unpredictable and deeply human.
Their debut album NOWHERE continues to gather momentum, while their second full-length record 'Some Kind Of Pure State', arriving Spring 2026, marks a bold expansion in impact and atmosphere. Festival appearances include Fuzz Club and DesertFest Berlin (2026), with recent highlights at Fusion Festival (2024), Synästhesie (2025) and VOID (2025).
At SXSW, The Dharma Chain bring a live show that’s raw, hypnotic and built to pull you in.
