"The cult Britpop band returns with a new album. "'Autofiction' is our punk record. No bells and whistles. Just the five of us in a room with all the problems and mistakes revealed; the band itself exposed in all its messy primal raw. At least, that was the idea. There's a quote by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes that describes the existence of humanity as 'nasty, brutish and short'. For some reason, we used that as a very vague guide, something to pull against in the fog." --- Brett Anderson ---.
