Autorub returns with ‘The Falling (432Hz)’, a punchy, genre-blending anthem that infuses classic rock grit with modern polish. Fronted by the ever-sharp Michael Corn, Autorub combines biting wit and infectious hooks, crafting tracks that connect on both a musical and intellectual level. Corn’s history with a post-grunge band and his experience composing for TV have seasoned his sound, allowing Autorub to create music that’s glossy yet unapologetically raw and rebellious.
‘The Falling (432Hz)’ is a high-energy track with nods to Weezer, Green Day, and Foo Fighters, yet Autorub’s distinct flavour emerges with analogue synth lines that add a dose of Bowie-esque synth-pop flair. The track follows the footsteps of previous releases like ‘Oh Marjorie’ and ‘Big Girl Big Gun’, loaded with smartly sarcastic lyrics that tackle real-world themes through a punk-rock lens.
In an unconventional move, Autorub’s latest release is tuned to 432Hz, a frequency reputed for its calming, even healing, qualities. While mainstream music sticks to the modern standard of 440Hz, Autorub’s shift in tuning connects the band’s sound to ancient tonal traditions, giving their music a deeper resonance- a reminder that even in rock, innovation and tradition can go hand in hand.
The result is a rhythm that struts with confidence. For fans of rock with a rebellious spirit, ‘The Falling (432Hz)’ solidifies Autorub’s status as a unique force, merging humour, grit, and a bold approach to sound that’s as refreshing as it is defiant.
