Shortly thereafter, the Parisian electro-pioneers at Kitsuné snapped them up to release their full length 'Animal in the Fall of 2009 in Europe, prompting the band to embark on a widely successful tour, recruiting legions of hardcore fans across Europe in the electro underground scene with their formidable live shows, securing them as one of the most sought after breakthrough acts in electronic music this year.
Having played a prestigious festival circuit this year including Glastonbury, Lowlands & Pukkelpop, the autoKratz set combines their trademark rock and roll energy with a remarkably distinctive electro sound - a recipe which has seen them touted as the most significant live electronic act to have emerged in recent years with comparisons to legendary acts such as Underworld, Depeche Mode, and The Prodigy.
“Always More", the first single to be taken from their highly anticipated debut album 'Animal' is a moment of electro-pop perfection, proving autoKratz have honed their songwriting craft to produce a very special record. “Always More” is sure to become a massive anthem in the clubs and to celebrate its release the band has released an extremely generous remix package that brandishes a variety of talent from a prime cut of DJ/producers from across the electrosphere.
Arguably the hottest French producer of the moment Yuksek delivers a devastating dancefloor rework with mammoth drops, addictive melodies and compulsive hooks, whilst Boys Noize Records protégé Shadow Dancer offers a more techy yet no less devastating interpretation. Big remixes from other exciting names like Goshi Goshi, Alex Gopher, Logo and Deathface complete this formidable bundle, making “Always More” undoubtedly one of the most significant electronic single releases this year.
Whilst “Always More” offers an honest glimpse into the variety and depth of 'Animal', the infectious summer anthem “Stay The Same”, driving and relentless “Can’t Get Enough” and the epic “Speak In Silence”, all combine to create a remarkable collection of tracks with variety and depth, justifying the bands standing as flag bearers of the new wave of British electronic music.
With the forthcoming release of their full-length US debut, autoKratz truly affirms with 'Animal' the strength of their powerful electro-pop song writing skills and are set to solidify themselves as one of Europe's most exciting new acts with this extremely exciting and innovative record.
Of the album, David says “As a record, its unique and its personal. Its captured an energy which I think is genuinely exciting and reflective of who we are as people.” Russell has a similar sense of accomplishment, “We were so keen to create something out of the ordinary; something people might not expect. The result is songs about us that we hope to have a real impact on people.”

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every time I see her face and the words they come undone
We can't always stay the same, but we all keep waiting
Everytime I see her face and the words they come undone
The lyrics of AutoKratz's "Stay The Same" reflect the bittersweet reality of life's fleeting nature. They convey the notion that despite our best efforts, we can't always hold onto things or people who are important to us, and that change is inevitable. The first line, "We can't always stay the same," sets the tone for the rest of the song, acknowledging that change is a part of life that can't be avoided.
The second line, "but we all keep hanging on," reflects the human desire to hold onto the past and resist change, even though we know it's inevitable. The lyrics suggest that this can be a difficult struggle, particularly when faced with reminders of what we've lost. The following lines, "Every time I see her face and the words they come undone," emphasize the emotional toll that change can take on us, particularly when it involves letting go of someone we love.
Line by Line Meaning
We can't always stay the same, but we all keep hanging on
Change is inevitable, but we hold onto the familiar
Every time I see her face and the words they come undone
When I see her, my emotions overflow and I can't speak
We can't always stay the same, but we all keep waiting
The future is uncertain, but we patiently anticipate it
Everytime I see her face and the words they come undone
Her presence overwhelms me and I lose my ability to communicate
