The Auteurs

Musical Group

English alternative/indie rock band led by Luke Haines, known in the 1990s for literate, dark songwriting.

Formed in London in 1991; Luke Haines was the principal songwriter and frontman. Debut album New Wave is cited in reviews as the band's first and representative record.

A positive, admiring review that foregrounds Luke Haines as the driving force behind The Auteurs. It praises New Wave as a debut that cages pop songs in decadent, dark atmospheres. Highlights include tracks "Idiot Brother", "Junk Shop Clothes" and "Valet Parking."

For:Fans of literate, melancholic 1990s British indie/alternative rock; listeners who prefer dark, ironic songwriting.

 Luke Haines, the indisputable leader of the Auteurs, is another highly underrated figure, lost as he is now in the history of Brit-pop, even though his vision and writing did not belong at all to the optimism and sunlight of 90s Brit-pop.
