@ (pronounced “at”) is the art-folk project of Philadelphia-based multi-instrumentalist songwriters Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak. On October 16, the band will share their new album Autosmile, their second full-length record and first release with 4AD.
Across Autosmile’s 11 songs, @ reimagine the psychedelic folk tradition as an undeniably contemporary art form, carefully balancing beauty and pain and shifting between black hole heaviness and patient understanding.
This is seen first via the album’s epic, nearly 7-minute lead single and title track ‘Autosmile’, released today. The song finds the band poeticising a mysterious breakup into questions of demonology, employing interlocking vocal harmonies and warm acoustic passages that build in intensity as shimmering tambourine, guiro licks, and blistering guitar leads enter the fray. It also arrives alongside an accompanying music video.
As the band says, “Really excited to have this song out; it took a while and a few tries to capture in the way we wanted, and we hope you enjoy it.”
WATCH/LISTEN
Autosmile follows @’s 2021 debut album Mind Palace Music — displaying the duo’s penchant for confessional lyrics and affinity for blending digital and analog elements, the album was an organic success story via word-of-mouth praise and well-deserved press recognition. In 2024, @ released their subsequent EP Are You There God? It’s Me, @, where they diverted from their usual acoustic instrumentation to soul-searching on a sonic side quest into more electronic music. In the time since, the band has become an in-demand live act with support shows alongside Snail Mail, Cameron Winter, and Black Country New Road.
This fall, @ will head out on a tour of North America, the United Kingdom, and Europe, with select North American dates supporting labelmates YHWH Nailgun and This is Lorelei.
@’s new record Autosmile is out October 16 on Soil Brown LP, CD, and digital. A special 12×12 insert and signed photo print bundle with the Soil Brown LP is also available to pre-order via Bandcamp and the 4AD webstore.

ABOUT AUTOSMILE
Multi-instrumentalist songwriters Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak have a pact, a devotion to each other and to the music of @. In their solo existence, Victoria works as a beekeeper and Stone as a self-taught computer programmer, but when they get together, they become a singular, avant-garde song force. On their new album Autosmile, the band’s first with 4AD, @ have harnessed their unique process to reimagine the psychedelic folk tradition as an undeniably contemporary art form. @ are a coalition, a team, a two-headed cat, and their collaboration has led them, once again, to fascinating and timeless results.
Both Victoria and Stone are incisive, classic songwriters, and their occasionally-baroque arrangements and production touches give the songs a rough-hewn yet virtuosic quality. This inventiveness, applied to songs that hold up against classic psych folk records, sets @ apart, somehow looking backwards and forwards all at once. There is a consistent darkness to the moods of Autosmile, but @ is also an inherently playful enterprise, unexpected prog flourishes lurking behind incisive indie rock song craft. Whatever private matters are examined, mystery is key — Victoria and Stone don’t tell each other what their songs are about. In keeping, the lyrics throughout the album bounce between adversity and possibility, exploring the inner and outer worlds with curiosity and prismatic awe.
Across Autosmile, the pair carefully balance beauty and pain while remaining one of the most musically adventurous duos operating today. These 11-songs nimbly shift between black hole heaviness and patient understanding, never abandoning a sense of wonder. In the face of darkness, miraculously, perhaps impishly, an Autosmile forms.
