![]() He is a cynical journalist reminding his readers of the corrupt, grimy machinations that they are complicit in. Haines is a sneering historian who has catalogued and cross-referenced every slight and indignity, unwilling to participate in a culture that has forsaken the concepts of justice and honor. This band is literate, perceptive, and talented, and therefore appropriately very bitter and angry about a world that, at best cares nothing for those attributes and at worst punishes them. I love this band intensely, a sentiment Autuer auteur Luke Haines would probably scoff at. If it were possible to quantify Britishness, along a continuum with the Magna Carta and Ray Davies on one end and, I don’t know, haiku and jalapeños on the other, then the Auteurs would definitely score in the Emma Peel/crumpet/bowler hat range. ![]() What I Think of When I Think of This Artist
