The Auxiliary

The Auxiliary
“Eerie…” “Hypnotic…” “It feels like the soundtrack to a dream…” Overture, the debut from The Auxiliary is a stage setting, a slow fade revealing the culmination of Carrboro NC based musician Russell Howard’s long, quiet journey from acoustic songwriter pop to electrified art rock. With new songs that read like transcripts of conversations never had, and old songs reimagined within the new framework, The Auxiliary explores the idea of merging the opposing parts of ourselves into something new, further serving to elucidate the space between truth and emotion, presenting as “an aptly contradictory soundscape that reflects…a society at odds with itself.” (IndyWeek)
