@Marc: on YouTube there are two videos, one called Motorpsycho Tour 2014, the other one Motorpsycho Here Be Monsters 2016 tour report. Both highly entertaining and interesting videos. In one of them (I forgot which one) you can see Bent teaching one of their songs to Reine backstage. My guess is they work out parts backstage and perhaps in the nightliner and then rehearse during soundchecks.
See you in Zwolle WILHELMSTROKER. I’ve seen them once before in Hedon and loved it. Nice venue! Modern but cosy.
So the European leg of the tour starts tonight! With Ingvald instead of Olav and no Reine. What to expect? Different songs? More epics? More jamming? Will there be acoustic guitars? Exciting!
Damn this is amazing, thanks! Totally agree with Jero. I really like Reine’s playing, take Whip That Ghost. Wow!
A Motorpsycho gig with 21 songs (22 on the setlist), wow! That’s a lot! Lots of old and new favorites of mine. Nice setlist!
Thanks for the report Devotional, very interesting read. Let Them Eat Yay! tour was indeed what I thought. This is such an interesting phase for the band.
This is what I wrote but wasn ‘t able to post 8 july:
So I finally received my record and cassette this week after some major screwups by DHL. Some thoughts:
First, I really like the packaging. The vinyl (transparant blob) looks amazing and the inlay is a lovely addition in my opinion.
I listened to the album on Spotify a few times and the lp pressing is excellent. The sound is so much better than the Spotify version. Off course this could have something to do with my turntable and streamer but still, there are lots of records where the difference in sound quality isn’t thís big.
Most important: the music itself. I really really like it. Not everything is briljant but all songs are worthwile and beautifull. Someone here said it’s a sincere record and I agree. It hits me more on a personal level than most of the recent stuff. My favorites so far are Patterns, W.C.A. and the Rapture. O and I really like the singing on this one. Yes it’s a bit shakey here and there but that only gives it more charm. So, to me this is a special record already.
And now, a few weeks later:
The album has really grown on me. Yes, it is briliant, every second of it. I keep returning to it. It’s an album I can play whatever mood I am in, it always works.
I also have the cassette btw. I am ashamed to say I haven’t listened to it yet. I don’t even own a cassette player….
