Thanks to 3D for bringing me here, it's very enjoyable. Way more hippyish than I thought it would be.

Yes they gradually switched from indie to hippie over time. Always quality, but definitely some different vibes

Never heard this band before, although I've seen much hype. Getting into these guys seems a daunting task.

They have pretty much everything you want in their discography. They started from Grunge roots on their first releases and their debut LP Lobotomizer to a very weird and awesome experimental phase on Demon Box and Timothy's Monster going very much from heavy psych to pretty much anything (especially on Demon Box). From then on they had an exploration into Indie Rock (Blissard) giving the psych twist again on their arguably best album Trust Us. Then they decided to go full Psych-Pop on Let Them Eat Cake and the following albums. After that they made a Jazz album together with the Jaga Jazzist and for some reason even a Country Rock album (Motorpsycho Presents The International Tussler Society). From then on they switched up the drummer and go full psychedelic madness again till Heavy Metal Fruit. They experimented a lot on the following albums most notably on The Death Defying Unicorn until they switched up drummers again and go a lot more progressive on the last three albums.

What a band to explore, I cannot recommend them enough.

It's daunting yeah. Maybe you hear someone praise their "noisy slow burners from the 90s" then you check a random song from those same 90s and you find this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP8G4T7G6Bk&ab_channel=MotorPsycho-Topic

Fun fact(s) to 90s Motorpsycho: The song Vortex Surfer is so beloved by fans it was voted the best norwegian song of all time on a norwegian radio station and played for 24 hours on repeat on that station. Also, in Siegen, Germany there is a well known underground rock club also named Vortex Surfer after this song.

Haha that's cool, I didn't know that. The shouted ending of that song is definitely a top-tier Motorpsycho moment, raw emotion

@farmerobama you a real one for that discog summary

Where would you recommend to start for someone who likes spacey/atmospheric/ambient psych/stoner with improv/jazz influences?

Tl;dr where would you recommend a causa sui fan start?

Hmm, I would say start in the psychedelic phase with their second drummer, either with Little Lucid Dreams or Heavy Metal Fruit. It's easier to get into than their most recent stuff and arguably equally as amazing.

Thanks man

Discovered this band from this site, been listening on and off a week or so--the core of the album is the NOX suite, and it's the best, for me. might reburn the thing with just that suite; the rest is... just okay. some great bits here and there, but something not fully clicking with the non-NOX material for me.

Definitely very different vibes for that reason...brilliant either way...specially if you dig finding Genesis, KC, Beatles etc on the rest of the tracks...plus the addition of the indie vibe gives it a little more contemporary take.

Vinyl came today. Absolutely fabulous Motorpsycho journey as always.

This album is great! I hadn’t given Motorpsycho a chance because their discog is so overwhelming. Upon recommendation, been listening to Heavy Metal Fruit and thoroughly enjoying that release, also. Maybe Crucible next?

Always Unicorn...

Unicorn it is.
