Continuing the wave of success of this past year with their street-art inspired music series, released on Counter Records and Ultra, Chicago trio Autograf head into 2016 with the announcement of their upcoming Metaphysical Tour. Named after their current release on Counter Records, this debut headline tour promises to be yet another milestone in a career that’s already seen them hone their craft across the globe over the last six months.
Known for the use of unique instrumentation including their signature vibraphone, the group will unveil a new live setup on select dates of the three month tour. Highlights include New York’s Webster Hall, U Street in Washington DC, Toronto’s Hoxton and more. The Metaphysical tour will also see a homecoming show for the trio in Chicago, following their New Year’s performance at Reaction NYE. To accompany the announcement of the Metaphysical Tour, the group is also giving fans Exmag’s remix of their modern classic as a free download, available via their website.
Pulling inspiration through a wide variety of art, culture, and music, members Mikul Wing, Louis Kha and Jake Carpenter have adopted the manifesto of making music for the sake of art. Influenced by revolutionary street-art figures such as Banksy and the days of Andy Warhol’s famous factory, the group has taken on the task of creating tangible art to further express the emotions and thoughts behind each release. With a staggering fourteen #1 hits on Hype Machine to their name and official remixes for Avicii, Fatboy Slim, Odesza, Faithless and Alesso under their belt, Autograf debuted their first batch of original material this year, with singles such as “Dream,” “Running,” and “Metaphysical” receiving high praise from both fans and tastemakers alike. Remixes of “Metaphysical” are out now from Daktyl and Kilter with more to come from Fehrplay, Teenage Mutants, Ambassadeurs and more with BBC Radio One’s Pete Tong already premiering the original and Fehrplay remix on his famous show.
