MOTOR have set themselves apart from other electronic live acts, and new album ‘Unhuman’ has developed their sound away from the continued metallic pummel of 2006’s debut ‘Klunk’.
‘Unhuman’ delves further into the structure of melody and vocals than its brut force predecessor. Tracks such as “20 Volts of Steel” morph vocodered vocals into jacking Chicago house whilst “Night Drive” tags hypnotic synth lines onto the chromed body work of a sleek electrochariot. Title track “Unhuman” and “Drug Punk” take it to the dancefloor, coaxing warmth and soul from the production duo’s instruments whilst first single “Bleep #1” bridges the gap between the dancefloor ready-to-go first album and more developed song structure of the second.
Now, not even a full year from their debut album, the engine has been tweaked and polished for a smoother, more sophisticated ride.
