The siren roared from atop the lighthouse as the storm battered against the coast. It was a night of trouble in the bay and at this point it was hard to tell who or what might make it out alive. The wind howled with a wild roar as the rain crashed down from the blackened heavens up above. Boats tossed and turned in an attempt to wrestle with the dangerous waves and they could only hope that the weather might soon pass. This was unprecedented, a beating like no other. 

Autarkic is set to release a startling new EP on Hoga Nord Rekords, an imprint of which we are very fond. He delivers a trademark blow to the club with intriguing orchestration and melody.
