Lou Tides - Autostatic! (2025) Hi-Res

Autostatic! is, in its essence, a ghost story, with each song as its own tale, using fantasy and camp to communicate painful truths. Both creepy and powerful, and like a ghost, I wanted to run away from these songs. But, because ghosts of ourselves indicate moving past stuckness, I learned to embrace the things I don’t like about myself, the world, or New York City. The recognition is knowledge, and the recognition is freeing. Autostatic! is about transformation and stasis, and how one informs the other. This record explores how the past informs the future, and the ability to change, confront, and blossom.
