The Automatic’s third single restores them to the realms of candyfloss indie dross. Previous single ‘Raoul’ may not have been half bad in a Killers-meets-The Futureheads kind of way. But ‘Monster’ suggests The Automatic are just another slice of great white hype. Heaving with synth riffs, hints of ska, teen lunacy and dumb chorus lines, ‘Monster’ is as irritating as it is poor.
