Autonomy is fast becoming Minnesota’s premiere hard-rock power trio. The group delivers a deliberate, dramatic, hook-laden rock crunch that has become their trademark sound. This riff-recipe is held in stark contrast against a literate approach to lyrics and a devotion to melody demonstrated by the band’s singer/songwriter/bassist Ether (aka William Lorentz). Billy Graczyk’s skilled guitar work outlines complicated melodies in great detail while Ether's unmistakable bass distortion drives home the big points. Autonomy manages to lace all of this together with electronic drum programs, effects, and multimedia stage imagery, and dynamic percussion. The fullness and power of the resulting sound leads the listener to wonder how it all came from a trio.
