Automata are a band that have taken the post-rock blueprint and simply let their thoughts and ideas modify and alter its appearance.
Heart Murmur is seven tracks of experimental and forward-thinking music that exposes its electronic heart on its sleeve and chronicles its own journey with carefully chosen narrated passages that embellish and expand their already layered sound.
- The Smashing Skull Sessions (

Après un premier album aux paysages sonores variés et colorés, Autómata était de retour le mois dernier avec un nouvel opus accrocheur et réussi, dans lequel le quatuor parisien continue d’affirmer une personnalité aux influences à la fois musicales et cinématographiques aussi nombreuses que savoureuses. A découvrir sans tarder.
- Totoromoon (

"Heart Murmur" développe une certaine idée du post-rock, contrepoints folk et électronique à l’appui, pour une virée émotive [...] Autómata dépasse genres et formats pour atteindre une noirceur métal psychédélique qui lui va à ravir.
- A découvrir absolument (
www.adecouvrirabsolument.com)
...Autómata once again embark on a sonic journey. Following their highly acclaimed self-titled debut from 2021, they now present a unique blend of experimental post-rock and electronic influences. An album that focuses on cinematic atmospheres and post-apocalyptic moods.
- Amplified Mag (

A recommended listen for lovers of the softer sounds of Post-Rock, with a modern touch and personal traits, between dreamy atmospheres and dilated sounds.
- Progressive Rock Journal (

In a thoughtful way, they build everything up and set an exciting and finely melancholic mood. [...] It still reminds me most of Mogwai's film music, albeit that by using progressive rock and Berlin-school elements, they really have their own flavour. A strong and by no means difficult second album.
