@ to make 4AD debut with second album, Autosmile
Art-folk outfit @ (AT) have announced their new album, Autosmile, their first full-length release since signing to 4AD, and released the title track.
@ — formed by Philadelphia-based multi-instrumentalist songwriters Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak — first made their debut in 2023 with their album Mind Palace Music, which was followed by their 2024 EP Are You There God? It's Me, @. Today, they preview the new album with lead single and title track "Autosmile," a nearly seven-minute piece that explores a mysterious breakup through questions of demonology.
Across eleven tracks, the pair reimagine psychedelic folk tradition as a form of contemporary art as they balance beauty and pain. Coinciding with the album's release, @ will be hitting the road for a run of tour dates across North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe, with select dates supporting labelmates YHWH Nailgun and This is Lorelei.
