From an indie band, Autotelic debuts as a recording group with MCA Music with the album Papunta Pabalik. Those who have heard the recording say Autotelic could be the next band to watch. It has been making loud buzz with a now large following on the indie scene.
The much awaited album, which contains the new single “Gising,” a song about daydreaming lets yourself drown in the feeling of being in love, very easy to relate to.
The band calls the music “Iyak Sayaw” genre, fresh and very modern sounding but at the same time has its 80s/90s vibe in it.
“Masasaya ang tunog at tono ng mga kanta namin, pero karamihan ng lyrics ay malungkot o di kaya ang pagkaramdaman ng nostalgia” said Josh Villena, band vocalist. “The moment we were signed by MCA Music, the feeling did not sink in immediately. We were all processing our thoughts and never have we imagined becoming an artist of a major music label. ” Josh said.
The album is a very personal experience and journey for the vocalist of the band, “As I move forward and go on with my life, I always look back to the past. Kadalasan mahirap lang makakalimot, kahit alam mong dapat ay isunusulong mo na lang ang buhay”. Most of the songs are based on true experience. The band describesthe whole album “Para siyang rollercoaster ng emotions ng bawat isa sa amin.”
