Released: Friday 3rd November 2017
'Severely killer gothic darkwave volley from Norn Iron’s Autumns, proceeding the examples of Terrible Tuesday for Downwards and a clutch of tapes and LPs for Clan Destine with their fiercest material yet.A jagged ramp called Self Consumed that sounds like Silent Servant on meth; the jabbing 16th note synths and EBM shunt of Headache Tablet; bitterest wave sentiments in You’re A Right Useless Cunt Aren’t You; and supremely messed up drum machine fizz in City Secrets and Distorted Thinking. RIYL Factory Floor, Powell, Not Waving, Marie Davidson..'

'Donaghey locks into the five tracks with a delirious intent akin to that of Damien Dubrovnik. His menacing grooves are topped with shrieks, moans and screes of guitar, and the songs often threaten to swallow themselves whole. Bracing stuff.' Bleep
'Brutal punishing rhythms. Industrial Trance. Dark Punk noise. Electro-Hardcore...Machines releasing volleys of percussion like automatic weapons into a World Unknown.' Dr Rob (Ban Ban Ton Ton / Test Pressing)
Autumns is the solo project of Christian Donaghey from Derry, Northern Ireland.
Following several releases on Downwards and Clan Destine and hot on the heels of his debut LP, ‘Suffocating Brothers’, the ‘Dyslexia Tracks’ EP sees Autumns deliver 5 tracks and 38 minutes of brutal beauty for Touch Sensitive.
Aligning itself closely to his recent devastating live performances - where snares (and belts) crack like whips and synthesizers “wriggle like a fucking eel” - ‘Dyslexia Tracks’ completes Autumns’ journey from his post-punk beginnings to producing some of the tautest and toughest electronic music we’ve heard in some time.
From the Hidden Reverse of Whitehouse and Throbbing Gristle to the futurism of Drexciya, Underground Resistance and other Detroit dons, Autumns sucks up influence and spits it out onto the darkest, sweatiest, haze-filled dance floors.
Alongside progressive appearances on cult labels and an acclaimed collaboration with renowned techno experimentalist Samuel Kerridge at the 2016 edition of Paris Fashion Week, Donaghey’s restless work ethic has seen him share stages in Europe and the US with The KVB, Lust For Youth, Beak>, Silent Servant & DVA Damas.
Autumns will play an extensive run of shows throughout Europe in support of ‘Dyslexia Tracks’ and his debut album.
