'''''Transit Transit''''' is the second studio album by American [alternative rock](/source/alternative_rock) band [Autolux](/source/Autolux), released on August 3, 2010, on [TBD Records](/source/TBD_Records) (USA) and [ATP Recordings](/source/ATP_Recordings) (outside of North America/Japan).

==Background==
Autolux produced ''Transit Transit'' themselves with guitarist/vocalist [Greg Edwards](/source/Greg_Edwards_(musician)) serving as engineer. Most of the record was recorded at Space 23, the band's makeshift studio in their rehearsal room near downtown [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles). A few drum tracks - "Highchair", "Spots" and "The Science of Imaginary Solutions" - came from an earlier session with engineer John Goodmanson. The title track (the last song to be recorded) was recorded in [Denmark](/source/Denmark) by Edwards, using a virtually unplayable upright piano and a sample of a coffin-style freezer found in a nearby basement, and then finished back in Los Angeles.

"Audience No. 2" was self-released on May 21, 2008, to college radio while the band continued to write and record songs that would finally end up on ''Transit Transit''. The single also included two [B-sides](/source/B-sides): the instrumental track "Fat Kid" and a cover of [the Beatles](/source/the_Beatles)' "[Helter Skelter](/source/Helter_Skelter_(song))".
