Without Hindrance by Auton

Left Hand Path is proud to welcome "Without Hindrance" - the latest in a series of mixed-media releases from Auton that explores the nature of insurrectionary rupture and the possibility to challenge the hegemony of power and violence held by the State. Following up on 2018's "La Lotta Continua" for Jacktone and the 2019 "Tute Bianche" ep (and its subsequent reconstructions) via TRAM Planet, "Without Hindrance" exists as a study of the events of the May '68 uprising in France, its capitulation to the spectacle of electoralism, and decline brought on by the failure to seize upon the moment of ultimate potential.

This release is housed in a clear vinyl bag and contains a professionally dubbed and printed audio cassette, featuring four original Auton tracks written between 2018 and 2019, as well as four reconstructions of these tracks by Andrew Nolan, Nihar, 51717 and Chaperone.

Also included is a full-color professionally-printed zine written in early 2019 by AE and anarchist tactician Tom Nomad (author of "The Master's Tools" and "Toward An Army Of Ghosts") which explores the ritualized behaviors of the radical milieu, the nature of the State and its capacity for intelligent evil, and ways forward that draw from the tradition of The Situationists in their articulation of a decentralized and constant insurrection of daily life.

The various elements of the release are drawn together with gorgeous hand-collaged artwork by Ashley Hohman, whose flair for brutal psychedelia compliments the techno-paranoiac sound and elegiac prose.
