Autopilot Is For Lovers perform Live on Drinking From Puddles

Autopilot Is For Lovers return to Drinking From Puddles for a Live performance !!

"Adrienne Hatkin, of Autopilot is for Lovers, has a voice that will stop you in your tracks. Direct and scratchy, part PJ Harvey shriek and Joanna Newsom warble,.... On their debut record, To the Wolves, Hatkin and multi-instrumentalist Paul Seely (also of the Builders and the Butchers) build a dense web of sound, ranging from sparse banjo-led ballads to urgent accordion dirges.... It took me a few spins to really understand a record that pits a crunchy, molten rocker like “Left of the Sun” next to “Pine Box Town,” an unsettling ballad about not finishing your chores. The album might fall flat without Hatkin, but if you take time to really listen to the skill and confidence in her vocal delivery, To the Wolves reveals itself as an honest document from one of Portland’s best singers."--MICHAEL MANNHEIMER/Willamette Week
