‘Automato’
Coup de grâce – 2004
*Automato – “The Single” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWdKAyuzgls // https://www.discogs.com/master/167685-Automato-Automato // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automato // Automato was a Brooklyn, New York-based hip hop sextet formed in 1995. According to (bandleader) Frankel, the group “kind of fell apart” soon after releasing their debut album. For example, Robert Christgau gave the album an A− grade, describing its music as “Less accomplished and sensational than the Rapture’s.” On the other hand, Pitchfork criticized the band for their “indie-rap dullness, horrible cybernetic-produce bandname, and absolutely atrocious MC.”*
