History
Autotelic started when Neil Tin, the band’s guitarist, spoke to Josh Villena. Villena is the band’s composer, lead vocalist, and guitarist. The band, which then consisted of Villena, Tin, Pabs Villegas (bassist), and Gep Macadaeg (drummer), who first met at a fast-food court. That is where they started to make music on a synthesis of Japanese and alternative rock and dance music.
Eventually, Eric Tubon, the keyboardist joined the band. He is also with the progressive rock band Fuseboxx. Then later, singer-songwriter Kai Honasan replaced Tubon as their keyboard player, while EJ Edralin later joined the band playing synths. The first song on which they worked with Honasan is the album’s first single, “Dahilan".
