Automat is a Berlin-based trio formed in 2011, comprising guitarist Jochen Arbeit (Die Haut, Einstürzende Neubauten), bassist zeitblom (Sovetskoe Foto), and drummer Achim Färber (Project Pitchfork, Phillip Boa). Their music seamlessly blends elements of noirish, jazzy funk, neo-psychedelia, and pulsing post-Krautrock, creating hypnotic grooves that resonate with both rock and electronic music enthusiasts. Their self-titled debut album, released in 2014 on Bureau B, features collaborations with Lydia Lunch, Genesis P-Orridge, and Blixa Bargeld, highlighting their deep roots in the avant-garde music scene.
