Moping around the house awkwardly, subversive literature in hand as might Mark E. Smith have done during one of Manchester’s many wet weekends, Hull four-piece Autosuggestion are the latest flagbearers of the neo post-punk movement, shadowy focal point Jacob Evison perfectly cast in the gruff anti-frontman role.

Forming over a shared love of the likes of Iceage and having shared stages with the likes of The Murder Capital since, “Deadpan/A New Slow” was produced by Craig Johnson of Autobahn and mastered by go-to punk engineer Joe Caithness, who keeps things raw and exciting, exactly how a band like Autosuggestion need to be handled.

With Ian McCulloch’s lyricism and Joe Casey’s delivery, Evison’s Gothic howl carries surging melodies to new places, textural gloom and intense drums burning brightly despite drizzling guitar, first-wave post-punk misanthropy and reverb making the elbowing guitars jab that much harder.

Over on the flip, murky riffs and leaden drum rips establish a dark neck-pop, violent feedback reducing the stage to a wasteland. “We are Autosuggestion" Evison intones at its climax, a calling card left spinning at stage exit, the start of something special.
