This summer! Hilarious artwork….i love the lightness and weirdness in what they do recently
Isn’t the Kneipp treatment famous for treading in shallow water? Not a good omen for Blissard 2.0! But neigh – it’s the horse cure, not the human treatment here – so hopefully MP will forcefully gallop into a glorious future (or a final sunrise, but let’s not hope that) ;-)
Let them explain this horse titles, or not, yihaa.Funnily I’m enjoying Yay more this days than last year. My only hope is all out of pandemic references
On insta you can see the testpressing spin, spin,spin …

So, no rumor as to when the new album will be released?
On one side of the LP, if I see it correctly, there will probably be two short and two longer songs.
So what about this date then
…called “All my life ( I love you)”
Lot of info on the album in their shop:
There are songs that makes friends with anyone and do great at parties, doling out compliments left, right and center. And then there are those songs that just don’t seem to fit in, songs that knock over glasses and makes awkward comments to the host as they stubbornly refuse to adapt and adjust to whatever larger setting you needed them to work in; these are songs that seemingly insist on remaining outside your control no matter how many stylistic or production tricks you try to pull.
Usually, for a band such songs eventually fall by the wayside, are left behind or butchered for parts a few years later. But sometimes quite a few of them show up at the door, at the same time, unruly & ready to shake things up a bit. Sometimes there is trouble.
These are the songs that makes up Neigh!! Not merely a companion piece to last year’s Yay!, not a collection of B-sides or simply leftovers from that same period, but a reaction, a party for those not invited to parties, consisting of troubled, sometimes weirdly clothed outcasts that refused to go away and instead languidly found their place in the post-plague world while the tunes from Yay! were being pampered and sing-along’ed by band and fans alike.
So, then, it’s not a Nay! These songs care not that the band didn’t notice their potential at first. They know who they are, what their purpose is and what they’re capable of. They proudly wear their ‘lo-fi/ no-fi’ and ‘recorded in rehearsal room/home studio’ as embroidered patches on jackets you only now realize are pretty cool. Granted, they had a tough upbringing, some of them come from broken homes and they learned the hard way to ‘Turn a frown upside down’, but here they are, together + strong!
Neigh!! is an album of ‘songs that won’t fit on an album’ – the non-concept of all concepts – a home for strays and runaways perhaps, but more importantly a bunch of tunes Motorpsycho are finally happy with, that found their purpose and now have a home: songs that the band are proud to finally being able to present to the world.
Huh. I find All My Life (I Love You) quite underwhelming (after just one listen, admittedly). It could have almost been a B-side from The Other Fool (and if it were, I’d only rank Funk ‘99 lower). But hey, in MP’s case a ‘meh’ single usually means there’s a great album waiting to be released!
