The Auteurs: Auteur Magic For The People

John Harris, New Musical Express, 20 February 1993

Fed up of noisy, brutish Brit bands ripping off tired ideas from the Yanks? Nothing to excite you in the modern, cutting-edge of music? Then herald the "New Wave" of THE AUTEURS bringing finely-honed subtlety and evocative musicianship out of the seedy, failure-ridden bedsits and into the public arena. About time too, says the professionally plumbed and mould-free JOHN HARRIS.

Total word count of piece: 1869
