entered the studio to record their first full-length album

In November 2002, Autolux entered the studio to record their first full-length album, Future Perfect , and finished primary recording in January 2003. In contrast to the 8-track recording method employed during the making of Demonstration , Burnett wished to capture the band’s live sound on the album. Following the initial recording, the band continued recording and overdubbing additional music at Space 23 (the band’s studio in their rehearsal room) to flesh out the songs. The song “Asleep at the Trigger” was completely recorded at Space 23. At the beginning of 2003, the album was mixed by Dave Sardy . The album was released September 21, 2004, and was generally met with critical praise.
