Lower Automation by Lower Automation
In August 2020, we sealed ourselves in a secluded cabin in Western Michigan to record our first full length. Our frenzied sessions lasted until the very last second of our rental agreement. The result is a collection of fast, ugly, and loud songs.

"The Chicago trio Lower Automation makes a frantic, unhinged form of punk rock... there’s a feverish, stir-crazy energy to the music." Stereogum.com
"As a debut LP, I could hardly expect more from Lower Automation, and even a cursory run through the band’s back catalog confirms that Lower Automation are poised to become one of the premiere bands in the greater mathcore metropolitan area." - Angrymetalguy.com
"There are many reasons Chicago’s Lower Automation deserve praise. Definitely towards the top of that list is their building of a wheel in which Botch, Wire, DEVO, KEN Mode, Nation of Ulysses, At the Drive-in and the Dillinger Escape Plan comprise the spokes before it gets punctured by a spike strip built by The Locust." - Decibelmagazine.com
