See, Miller, like the bespectacled and bookish protagonist of his latest film, Three Thousand Years of Longing, is a storyteller, and my favorite interpretation (call it a fan theory or whatever you want, it’s still compelling) of the Mad Max films is that they’re ultimately depicting the creation of a folk legend.

<p>Back in June we shared Automatic’s ice-cool corporate satire video for “Skyscraper,” and it set a detached, skeptic-pop mood for the Los Angeles alternative group’s new album, Excess, out now via Stone’s Throw. This week, the trio of Izzy Glaudini (synths, lead vocals), Lola Dompé (drums, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals), drop a paper cut animation visual for “Automation” (yes, this is Automatic’s “Automation”), created by Yana Pan and Jenny Nirgends, complete with this declaration: “’Automaton’ is about having to deprogram yourself […]</p>
