The Autumns

The Autumns formed in 1992 when Frankie Koroshec and Matthew Kelly were
in high school. Their early influences were the Manchester lot: The
Smiths; Trashcan Sinatras; and Stone Roses. In time, Koroshec, Kelly,
and their fellow bandmates found other musical inspiration, mostly
notably The Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine. By 1997, The Autumns had drawn
their various influences together to create a unique and identifiable
sound on the eclectic mod-to-goth spectrum. That year, the indie label
Risk Records signed the group, releasing 'Suicide at Strell Park' and
'The Angel Pool'.
Simon Raymonde of the Cocteau Twins took notice of demos that the band had tracked with producer Andy Metcalfe (Squeeze, Soft Boys) and offered to produce The Autumns' next LP. The group headed to London, and created 'In the Russet Gold of This Vain Hour'. The album topped college radio charts, and were featured by the L.A. Times on the cover of its Pop Music section, alongside 'Beck' and Prince. MTV filmed an Autumns show at the Troubadour. Then, without warning, their label collapsed.
The band released various short and limited-edition recordings, but real notoriety arrived when Angela Shelton hired the band to score her movie, 'Searching for Angela Shelton'.
With the help of engineer 'Jamie Seyberth' (Teenage Fanclub, Beachwood Sparks, The Sugarplastic), The Autumns released a long-awaited, self-titled, full-length album in 2004. The album found considerable praise in Europe, receiving four stars from MOJO and The Times of London.
