this is supernaut seconding Be here. I wouldn't have said it that harsh but yes, I always have and always will prefer the song oriented Motorpsycho. Song and dance numbers yay! Though I'm very fond of the other extreme, too. Elaborated grands like LLM and obviously the Unicorn. I'm just not a fan of hippie noodling.
oh yes I couldn't help listening to about 5 snippets either. For me they don't reveal anything at all. But going out on a limb I bet it's probably a bit different than Phanerothyme.
hehe, "see what I can do prog shit" is the least of my worries when it comes to Motorpsycho. Actually I don't worry about this at all. The guys – as any other musician working hard for 25 years – are ever evolving. It's natural. I'm none less than happy when they don't hold back what's piling up through time, be it ideas, visions or even – gasp! – uncool (according to the indie style police) musical skills. I find it much weirder – and actually a bit dumb – when a band still does exactly the same riffing over and over on a 24th album.
yes I'm aware of these statements and beliefs from the docus and interviews and so on.
I just wonder how this can work out financially especially if they have families to look after. Well maybe their wives have big incomes and/or my knowledge of how well the band does in Norway in sales and stuff is too poor (well, the latter is sure true). Anyway, it was just a thought, sorry for OT.
just a sidenote: it occurred to me a few times now that the average Motorpsycho tour schedule amounts to about 1 month a year. Not that much for a LIVE band of their stature. And also, how does that work out for them economically?
I'm so overhyped about this record. Expectations beyond words. I should be used to it after 20 motoryears but no, it still feels like kiddie christmas everytime. And this seems to be a very special one.
for switzerland dates it's rumoured they'll play the impetus festival in lausanne, so that'll be 21st or 22nd, between berlin and ravenna.
festival hmmmm… hope they do a full set nonetheless.
It's very much certain they will play the Impetus festival in Lausanne. Exact date tba.
