Alps
Reissued by Talitres. "Russian fivesome, Motorama, has been steadily building a solid fanbase with their post-punk, Joy Division-inspired sound. The group has been around since 2005 but they only released their first full length album in 2011 entitled, Alps. The sound is unmistakably a clash of new wave, 80s sound with slightly danceable beats and monotone vocals. Inspired by some of the more prominent bands in the past decades, they also cite The Strokes and The Coral as bands that they grew up listening to. Opening with the moody but catchy track, Northern Seaside, the single sets you up for a great 30 plus minutes of beautiful post punk, synth infused cuts. The track features soothing, low key vocals accompanied with beautiful guitar work. Although the cut is a bit melancholic and slightly dark, it s still quite catchy." - Frostclick
