Auto!Automatic!!

Automatic!! is a Tampa-based instrumental trio that emerged during the mid-2000s math rock boom.

Their sound identity is defined by clean-toned, technical guitar work characterized by extensive finger-tapping and polyrhythmic interplay with a highly active rhythm section. The band's career is bifurcated by the departure of original bassist Nate Murray and the arrival of Adam Khan, a transition that marked a shift from 'in-your-face' technicality toward a more progressive, dynamic sound incorporating guitar loops and atmospheric textures. Culturally, they occupy a space within the American math rock scene alongside peers like Tera Melos or Don Caballero, though they maintain a more melodic, post-rock-adjacent sensibility. Critical consensus highlights their ability to balance complex time signatures with accessible, bright melodies. Their influence web connects the precision of 90s math rock with the more expansive, loop-based experimentation of the 2010s. For collectors, their early work represents a high-water mark for the Florida indie-math scene of the era.
