THE AUTUMN PROJECT

The Autumn Project biography
THE AUTUMN PROJECT was first a simple one time moniker for the solo work of Mike Gustafson, upon the musical introduction of life long friend Jess Huffman and his brother John Huffman and two years of experimenting in the basement we are now again THE AUTUMN PROJECT, but in instrumental form.Formed officially in 2000, it wasn't until 2003 with the release of THE AUTUMN PROJECT debut record "Fable" that TAP began moving forward into the direction we are heading now.

After two West Coast tours, countless Midwest outings and 3 full length records THE AUTUMN PROJECT are setting the stage for national exposure. After self releasing "La Luna de Negra" in 2004 and signing onto Imagine It Records for the re-issue of "Fable" in 2005, THE AUTUMN PROJECT have now signed with the Boston, MA label Deepsend Records.In 2006 THE AUTUMN PROJECT released their third album "A Burning Light". Both Deepsend and Imagine It Records are best more in the hardcore metal worlds and we feel that we fit into that realm better than any other. THE AUTUMN PROJECT doesn't stand out in the post rock ocean, they don't create new concept, but they surely bring a fresh air in the scene. Their music is calm on moments,ambient passages can be noticed which gives extra feeling of tranquillity.Their work warms the soul, creating divine soundscapes . But at very next moment music gets as brutal as it can be,sonic attack at all senses at once, driven by beautiful madness heading towards epic feeling..and calmness again. They are creating dynamic, accessible and challenging instrumental music. Excellent cinematic heaviness, whose meditative post rock glides blissfully through huge slabs of crushing, heavenly distortion.

THE AUTUMN PROJECT music is recomended for far fans of MONO, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT,DATURAH and RUSSIAN CIRCLES. Good place to start is their 2009 album "This We Take With Us".
