Is that headline even right? Can weather be hot? Or are we talking about temperature? Does the headline have the same punch if we say this song is hot like the temperature? We have no idea. But we do know that this new joint from Los Angeles trio Automatic has run a post-punk buzzsaw through our heat-depressed skulls, and we’ve been spinning its 136-seconds of fuzzy magnetism on repeat as we suffer through summer’s eternal misery. “Too Much Money” s flashing us back to the hype days of LeTigre and CSS, and that’s good enough on this sweltering July afternoon. Automatic will set up shop for a month-long weekly residency in Los Angeles through August, so if you’re on that side of the country, drop in and say “Hey.” Deets after the jump.
