Automatic Children

Automatic Children was called one of the top NYC bands by The Deli Magazine. Twice. Releases include a 2007 EP, ("It's Not Me, It's You"), a limited-edition vinyl 7" from 2009 ( "Coming Over Me"/"Solitude"), and a full-length album ("New is Beautiful"), from 2010. Skopemag.com called "Coming Over Me" "classic indie rock that does not disappoint" and said that it "has hit all over it." Big Takeover magazine called the song Wake Up from the 2007 EP a "poppy post-punk gem with some of the best this-relationship's not-working lyrics ever." Brooklyn Rocks said that "the EP is a lo-fi gem". All of the releases were produced by Rob McCulloch (Supple) and the 2007 7" was mastered by Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound (TV on the Radio, Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, Ra Ra Riot).

Journalists have compared AC to Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Pixies, Sebadoh, X, The Jesus and Mary Chain and the Individuals.
