Head Automatica, once lauded by Rolling Stone for “packing a pop punch,” are back and with a funked out, sexier-than-ever flair. The band released seminal and masterful alt-pop records in the ’00s with their debut, the Dan the Automator-produced ‘Decadence’ (2004), and its follow-up ‘Popaganda’ (2006). Today, Head Automatica have dropped the sultry new song ‘Annulment’, which operates off a beat that sounds like your own heart.
“The song ‘Annulment’ is Head Automatica’s sound but pushed forward a bit in terms of the mood and production,” says singer Daryl Palumbo. “We wanted to maintain all of the colorful production with intricate electronic and sample-based elements while allowing more space for the overall song’s feeling and dynamics to stand out. Ensuring the mood of the track carries it while still remaining body-moving is the delicate balance within ‘Annulment’.'”
Only their second song to be released in over 18 years, ‘Annulment’ is the hypnotic, modern love song answer to their iconic and beloved track ‘Beating Heart Baby’ from 2004. If you ever found yourself wondering whether or not they still have “it,” well, ‘Annulment’ is a proud proclamation and showcase of the years of love Head Automatica have for their fans of decades and new alike. The track demonstrates the band’s ability to evolve and grow artistically, and to craft an earworm.
