about

“Eat Lights; Become Lights mix Krautrock rhythms and celestial drones to heavenly effect” - NME

Formed in the winter of 2007 by Neil Rudd (Guitars, Programming, Loops) & later joined by Rob Hyde (Drums) & Alex Baker (Bass)

Eat Lights; Become Lights share a deep love of classic German electronic acts of the 1970s, evoking classic kosmische bands but making the sound very much their own, creating an ever-changing synesthesic landscape of harmony and melody, feedback & drones, played against a driving motorik beat.

With the release of their debut single They Transmit in May 2008 on Enraptured Records, ELBL quickly gained critical praise from the likes of the NME, and record of the week slots from Manchester’s Piccadilly Records and Leeds’ Norman Records soon followed. The second single Klustered, released in April 2009, was equally well-received, and the band set to work on a long-player.
Gigging heavily since their conception, ELBL have steadily built up a reputation as a formidable live act, and the band have played several high-profile supports, including a sold-out tour with New York electronic pioneers Silver Apples as well as being championed by Stuart Maconie on 6 Music’s Freak Zone and Andy Weatherall on BBC Radio 6 mix.

About Autopia-

Autopia sees the band finally condensing the maelstrom of their live shows into an LP – in contrast the record is tighter, and more synthetic-sounding than the live show, recorded and edited using digital emulations of classic 60's compressors and EQs.

The record takes in a range of musical touch points, steering from the obvious Kraut-influences to 90s shoegaze and techno, always underpinning each piece with, quite simply, great melodies.

Autopia Reviews and press-

-4/5 Uncut magazine

-The Quietus 4/5-

"...opening track, 'Test Drive' kicks in with a suitably motorik pulsebeat and a feeling of motion and acceleration, bright raindrops of guitar striking the windshield, the sweeping synths rushing past like blurred midnight motorway lights. But there's a warmth that's often missing from the work of other neo-Krautrock revivalists, a raffish melodic energy that belongs more to classic British indie rock, and the whole is built around a riff so nagging and addictive that it would be churlish to dismiss it in the name of some spurious war on cliché."

While I'm a huge fan of electronic music, I love when these projects also introduce a narrative aspect. The unfolding history of Martin's musical journey adds such a wonderful dimension while listening to these albums. Not to mention the great visuals, too. M0T0M

I lived and worked in Berlin the 80s. West Berlin. The legendary Hansa Studios. Heard rumours about Martin’s studio, and snippets of music. I never managed to connect with him though. So it’s a delight that his catalog is now being shared with the world. Sounding simultaneously timeless and futuristic. Thank you. geniusjones

Aw Man this album reeks of dirty eerie goth vibes. Very difficult to pick a favourite track. It's fantastic beat driven with bass to rival Jah Wobble and production to equal Youth. I cannot sing this albums praises enough. It's a breath of dark dank air. Well Done. jazzberto
