AUTOFAC have taken ‘bedroom’ recording to the next logical level, having re-imagined the world as a post-apocalyptic landscape where the only songs one can recall are electronic fables about failed ambitions, war metaphors, fractured childhoods, odes to the ‘closedown’ announcement on early 80s television, fear of the future and misplaced pop euphoria. One might say that ‘Empire.’ could have been recovered from a time capsule or a ‘drop box’ with hints, nods and tears to the alternative past which once celebrated Jean-Michel Jarre, Gary Numan, Kraftwerk and Boards of Canada, before the catastrophe, if it wasn’t bursting with its own fresh ideas, input and bittersweet love of electronic music.
