Ghuughra When you said "Krautrock" I was imagining something more... Hasselhoff, I guess?

Cool, just more space-sinewave-tunes than Deutsche-d*uche-posturing. For the best, I think. Favorite track: Flood Tide.

jemiahj Motrik continues to redefine the propulsive motorik beat and its possibilities. Album features vocals but they are soft-edged, deadpan, or dreamy, and don't get in the way of your trip or frenetic dance party. Favorite track: Weightless.

Smekermann Wow, this Køan rework is fucking sick (laudatory), and I say that having loved the original single.

The whole album is great, though. It's probably their best (I say probably because their previous one has Space Elevator on it, thus making it a really tough choice for me).

e: but no, it is. It's their most accessible, most concise, and most rocken release yet. This is a great place to start listening to their stuff. Favorite track: Blaupunkt.

about

On EARTH, Møtrik delivers a sprawling, celestial journey through the outer limits of krautrock. From the glittering awe and breath-counting disorientation of “Weightless” to the tidal reckoning of “Ultimate Drive,” EARTH charts a course through sonic paradox; between body and void, machine and soul, end and beginning.

This fourth full-length cements their status not as revivalists, but as genre-shapers in their own right, equal parts sci-fi ritual, motorik propulsion, and kosmiche pastiche.

Møtrik — Erik Golts (bass/vocals/synthesizers), Cord Amato (guitar, synthesizer), Lee Ritter (drums), Jonah Nolde (guitar, synthesizers), and Dave Fulton (synthesizers/sequencers) —channel krautrock’s pulse through a kaleidoscope prism of cosmic textures, hypnotic rhythms, and alien clarity. The results are undeniable: EARTH is a modern krautrock masterwork, and the soundtrack to our strange, unraveling future.

Smoking safety cone and all.
