When mankind entered the plague times, Glitter Wizard went underground. During his time below the surface, Glitter Wizard singer Wendy Stonehenge went to work on a new project. Inspired by the imminent apocalypse, he enlisted the help of Arthur Teo (ex-Glitter Wizard) and Phil Becker (Terry Gross, Pins of Light) to construct a selection of songs, fusing elements of punk, electronic, and synthpop. The new sound ran the gamut of post-punk aesthetics, even including on ltalo-disco inspired cover of the Electric Prunes’ “I Happen to Love You,” penned by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. The songs quickly become self-aware and worked their way into the mind of their creator, driving him into madness and fusing his flesh with the machines. Thus, the <i>Automaton</i> was born. lt awakens the dozing listener with the Motorik drive of opener “Scent of Leather,” stopping along the way to coll out the evil “Slumlord,” note the impending “Environmental Genocide” and confirming that, until further notice, there’s “No Future in Music.
