The first one's free. You have to give your email address in exchange for the goods, but hey, free ain't always free. Following the first remix EP will be Sometimes They Drop By on September 23. Two more EPs will follow on October 21 and November 25.

The first EP centers around three standout tracks from Lust Lust Lust, presented in radically different new versions. Hypnotic Japanese electro producer 80KIDZ, Alec Empire-conspirator Nic Endo, and Danish DJ superstar Trentemøller reconstruct these now familiar songs into new shapes.

Tracklisting:
1. Dead Sound (80KIDZ remix)
2. Aly, Walk With Me (Nic Endo remix)
3. Lust (Trentemøller Remix)

A new album from the band was originally scheduled for release over a year ago. The reason for the delay is unclear. But the band recently released a track from the new album, titled Transit Transit. The date given for the album? "Soon enough." The band, currently labelless and happily so, is offering the track as a pay-if-you-wanna .wav file download on their website. Or you can stream the song, "Audience No. 2," on their myspace page. Autolux will be playing at the My Bloody Valentine curated All Tomorrow's Parties in New York on September 19th.
