Automaton Adventure Series
Futura Transmitta CD - Satellite Transmissions

The AUTOMATON Adventure Series is a beat kickin', proto punk noise band armed with sound generation devices and savvy sampling. The Seattle based three-piece seamlessly couples arty introspection and indie rock squall into an inspired and experimental sound that pushes boundaries and explores a vast range of music. Their prog-punk, post-modern style culminates in an explosion of creativity on Futura Transmitta. Performing live, the AUTOMATON Adventure Series use brilliant color 16MM filmstrip images creating an atmospheric audio and visual collage.

Olympia's Galleon Key Recordings released their first seven-inch single in the fall of 1998. They received critical attention and immediately began playing extensively in the Northwest with the likes of No Means No, Man Or Astro-Man?, Modest Mouse and Servotron. They then embarked on a successful national tour in the summer of 1998.

Their debut album, Futura Transmitta, is a discordant and passionate rock n' roll transmission - that the band recorded and developed extensively from January to August of 1999 - with shared engineering by Phil Ek (who has also engineered Built to Spill and Modest Mouse), Steve Wold of Moon Music (who has also engineered Modest Mouse and The Bangs) and Alex Neerman and Jason Powers at Yo Yo Recording Studio. Futura Transmitta is being proudly released by Satellite Transmissions, with limited full-length vinyl available from Galleon Key Recordings.
