The Los Angeles-based synth/bass/drums trio (previously covered [here](https://www.auditorymusings.net/signal-by-automatic/)) is back in 2022 with their second record. If you had a chance to listen to their debut and liked what you heard, then you're in store for more goodness here. The bass and synth heavy tunes continue, though I'm hearing more [Judy's](https://www.auditorymusings.net/washarama-by-the-judys/) and [Violent Femmes](https://www.auditorymusings.net/violent-femmes-self-titled/) on this record than the Devo influences on the first. My recommendations: 'New Beginning,' 'Turn Away,' 'On The Edge' and 'Skyscraper.'
