“Venus Hour” is taken from Automatic‘s upcoming album Excess, out June 24 on Stones Throw.

After the propulsive “New Beginning,” which is already featured in our Best Tracks of 2022 playlist, Los Angeles trio Automatic unveil a new taster from their upcoming sophomore album Excess. According to the band’s Izzy Glaudini, “Venus Hour” was originally written as an ode to “psycho-feminine energy”. It is “about whatever it is inside you that makes you want to do that thing that isn’t logical, or safe.” The catchy track also comes with a retro-inspired, Sylvie Lake-directed video. Watch and pre-order the album via Bandcamp below.
