MOTOR’S new album ‘Hyper Machine’ is metallic music, combining techno beats and raw rock riffs, underscored by ‘mechanical grooves that spit blood’
All thirteen album tracks retain Motor’s trademark electronic/ rock elements previously showcased on Mute albums 'Klunk' and 'Unhuman', though this time round the emphasis is firmly on the dance-floor.
“We wanted it to carry on the spirit of those first two records, but at the same time we had to break new ground and we knew after producing just a few rough demos that the new record was going to be seriously raw and off the wall,” says the band, “We wanted to get back into the clubs with a fresh sound.”
‘Hyper Machine’ is out now on January 26th on Dim Mak. Preceding this release is the single ‘Death Rave', an acid techno monster of a track that rocks. Hard. ‘‘Death Rave' has just been nominated as best club/dancefloor song of 2009 at the Qwartz Awards in France.
MOTOR spent most of 2009 on tour with Depeche Mode playing to sold out 60,000+ capacity football stadiums. They also managed to remix Kanye West.
MOTOR are currently recording a new album and preparing for a world tour for 2010. (less)
