A Muso's Top 10: Head Automatica

Head Automatica were once two, consisting of one Daryl Palumbo and Dan "The Automator" Nakamura. But not no more. Now they're a fully fleshed out disco-rock quintet who go some distance to bridging that great divide between emo kids and err.. adults. And as keys man Jessie Nelson informed us not so long ago whilst putting the finishing touches to their forthcoming sophomore release effort Popaganda; "The jams are blowing my mind, we can't wait for you all to hear them. But here's a sample of what we've been listening to in between the mixes to give you a feel of what we're being influenced by at this moment..."
