Thank you Wulf. I remember that there was also a Stockholm date on 23.04.2025 But I dont remember the venue name
The Dresden show was amazing. No idea about the setlist tough, Punj. Sorry, but surely the new album was played. Btw. the audience was so enthusiastic that they came out for a second encore, which was a short hard rocking song. A great show.
Good morning Motorpsycho. The best way to start the day with a surprise from you 😁 my first impression: so many riffs, so many melodies and interacting details. Like a full album to discover in just one powerful song. Old-School Motorpsycho meets fresh and inspired new Motorpsycho. Wonderful. Will spend the day listening again and again ❤️
I waited a while to write down my first impressions. I had spent a week last week completely alone in the forest, without music and other distractions, and “Neigh!” was the first thing I heard after that time. With anticipation, but without expectations (fortunately).
It immediately cast a spell over me. First of all, I think the album has a very good flow, the songs line up very well and fit together perfectly. The only break is from “Crownee Says” to “Condor”. At first listen I thought that this break made “Condor” seem a bit disconnected, but I’m getting used to it.
The really special thing is that the album never comes across as ambitious or cerebral. The rumbly LoFi sound suits the songs incredibly well. The euphoria and the sadness are hidden behind unpolished corners and edges. At the same time, the album and the band come across as very lively and playful. How wonderful that they use these analog synth elements. Totally brilliant. For example at the beginning of “Captain” or on “Revenants”. To stay with “Captain”. It’s such a cool, wonderfully groovy rocker and Snah’s falsetto vocals are an absolute highlight and a huge surprise. It makes me grin every time.
I also really like “Crownee Says” in its differentness. It’s such a cool song, and the final melody could go on forever. Maybe live? A pro pos live. I can’t wait to hear “Elysum, soon” live. An absolute highlight. “Return to Sanity” is growing so much. More and more with every listen. “All my live” took me a moment, but that rumbling drum from Bent and the chorus melody have completely won me over by now.
If I have any low points, it’s that I’m not a particular fan of picture discs and once again regret the background noise between songs, which always seems to be the case with picture discs. But it looks nice ;)
Another highlight album, and very refreshing! It will spin, spin, spin. (“Neigh!” …)
So nice. If that is the beginning of the tour its very early, but that can be a great idea ✌️
Oh and whats interesting: Kanaan also play there. So maybe more a single date than the tourstart?
Oh sorry, just speculating brain cells 😅
That sounds exciting. Wow. Lucky you, to have had Psychonaut played
Btw, was the concert well received?
The description of the individual songs is really very touching. My anticipation is definitely very high. Just take “Condor” or “Return to Sanity”. Wow.
And I really have to say that I think it’s absolutely right how they continue on their path. They are simply doing everything that is necessary to survive as a band in the present. I am fully behind them.
(and actually I start liking the cover
)As it’s a release without distribution, more like a fan thing, I’m not worried at all. It’s up to us to support them. That’s what I’m doing. (I just don’t like the cover to be honest
but I think I understand the meaning behind it, and thats kind of cute)
