Motrik - Artificial Head (2020) [Hi-Res]

The Portland-based band Møtrik has released a substantial new project that blends krautrock aesthetics with high-energy "party rock." The group's musical style oscillates between the influences of Kraftwerk, DEVO, and Pink Floyd, offering listeners both dynamic, rhythmic tracks and extended psychedelic epics. This release is notable for being the first instance where the band moved beyond pure improvisation, opting for full-fledged studio production. The lyrical themes range from sci-fi fantasies to ironic dialogues, maintaining a consistent concept of a technical, "FORTRAN-like" approach to rock music.
