The Automatic Chat To ilikemusic
The Automatic released their debut album Not Accepted Anywhere in 2006 and achived much success and radio play with the likes of storming indie-pop tracks such as Monster, Raol and Recover. Since 2006 the Welsh four piece have undergone a number of changes. After the departure of keyboardist Alex Pennie the band enlisted the talents of former yourcodenameis:milo member, Paul Mullen, who took on the position of guitarist/vocalist and synth player. The band's second album This Is A Fix has been preceded with the single Steve McQueen. We caught up with Paul Mullen to chat about the sound of the new release, how The Automatic work together, his favourite gig memories and nasty, horrible tattoos...
"I Like Music because… at a gig, a festival, whatever, nothing can come close to the feeling you get when soooooo many people are enjoying that one chorus, or that one riff. Well, maybe if Sunderland score a goal, that would be a very close second." PAUL MULLEN, THE AUTOMATIC
ILM: Your second album is titled This is A Fix. In your own words can you describe the vibe of the album?
