2007 has been a phenomenal year for MOTOR . Not only did
they unleash their second album, 'Unhuman', on the back
of their 'Sweatbox' and 'Black Powder' singles,
but their live show as a travelling three piece has torn up clubs,
gigs and festivals the world over. MOTOR supported Nitzer
Ebb on their world tour
and appeared at such festivals as I Love Techno with
Kraftwerk, and Pukkelpop with Daft
Punk.
If MOTOR have gone some way to setting themselves apart
from other electronic live acts, then their sophomore album
Unhuman has developed their sound away from the continued
metallic pummel of 2006's debut Klunk. Whilst obvious club
pleasing tracks such as tense acid workout 'Flashback' have
already become live show favourites, demolition road tested
throughout America, Japan and Europe, the album displays
a warmer and more developed sound.
In 2008, MOTOR went back into the studio and locked
the door. Taking time off from the rigorous touring schedule
of previous years, MOTOR sought to reinvent their sound to keep
them on top of the game.
The first single to be released from these sessions
is 'ice' which is destined for greatness.
you guys rocked everyones faces right off at smart bar! ha!! GG!! loved your set....more so the energy and creativity! if i was a performer, thats how I would do it! ^__^
Dudes, your new video for Flashback is rather Lynchian -it's grand!
I see you are making your way even into Kiev. The world will surrender soon, chances are it will hapen before December 2008. The Milkyway will become the Motorway. Earth will be one big gig where the tide of Spazmtastic music rules. And we will be there to headbang to the gaymetal tunes of true rock n roll techno.
In other words, will yournew album be released this year? And when oh when will we be able to catch you live in Holland again?
Cheers and keep industrialising, Niels and the Black Oysters
