Motor!k, the avant-garde trio from Belgium, is back with their fourth studio offering. Comprising Joeri Dobbeleir’s expertise on guitar and synths, Dirk Ivens’ mastery with guitar and effects, and the rhythmic pulse provided by Dries D‘Hollander on drums, the group once more embarks on a mesmerizing sonic journey.
With the new album, the passion for “Krautrock” is evident and fervently alive. At its core, the record is an ode to the psychedelic rhythms of yesteryears. Think hypnotic basslines, steady, entrancing drums, and those endlessly looping guitar riffs that can transport the listener to another realm. Motor!k distills the very essence of those psychedelic dreams, bringing forth a retro experience for the modern ear.
In a bold choice, Motor!k steers clear of vocals, a decision that accentuates their music’s pure instrumental power. The six tracks, meticulously crafted, aren’t merely songs. They’re immersive soundscapes. The absence of lyrics amplifies the raw emotion embedded within each chord and rhythm, making the listening experience intimate and visceral.
Perhaps the most captivating aspect of the album is the dynamism it radiates. This is not a meticulously rehearsed set, but rather it unfolds with the organic progression of a jam session. The synergy between Joeri, Dirk, and Dries is palpable. Their swift and seamless interplay creates an ambiance of spontaneity, giving listeners the sensation of being in the same room as them, witnessing musical magic unfold in real-time.
Motor!k’s fourth album is not just another record in their discography. It’s a testament to their mastery over their craft and their undying love for the hypnotic allure of Krautrock. For enthusiasts of retro psychedelic sounds or anyone eager to experience raw, unadulterated musical energy, this album is a must-listen.
