@ (pronounced “at”) is the art-folk project of Philadelphia-based multi-instrumentalist songwriters Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak. On October 16, the band will share their new album Autosmile, their second full-length record and first release with 4AD.
Across Autosmile’s 11 songs, @ reimagine the psychedelic folk tradition as an undeniably contemporary art form, carefully balancing beauty and pain and shifting between black hole heaviness and patient understanding.
This is seen first via the album’s epic, nearly 7-minute lead single and title track ‘Autosmile’, out now. The song finds the band poeticizing a mysterious breakup into questions of demonology, employing interlocking vocal harmonies and warm acoustic passages that build in intensity as shimmering tambourine, guiro licks, and blistering guitar leads enter the fray. It arrives alongside an accompanying music video.
