Rien de tape-à-l'œil, un petit troquet au climat familier comme on en trouve un bon nombre dans nos contrées, allez savoir pourquoi... Le soleil légèrement couchant, les retrouvailles avec mon ami Calogero et l'optique de boire de la Chouffe [...]
Les Boutiques Sonores et Hartzine, c'est une histoire commune jalonnée de preuves d'amour à faire chialer n'importe quelle ménagère de plus de cinquante ans - pourtant rodées aux affres des Feux de l'amour . Ceci dit, on s'en fout et on en remet une couche - après une soirée au Panic Room plus que réussie - puisque la rédaction est invitée à un partage de platines lors de la soirée de clôture de ce beau (mini) festival, le 21 avril prochain, en compagnie des russes de Motorama, groupe dont on a du [...]

Genre: Post-Punk Label: self Motorama, our Post-Punk heroes from Russia released a single track after their wonderful album Alps. They hit the DFBM 2010 Toplist on position 4 and thrilled us with their much darker project Утро. They are on tour right now and we had no luck to see them live on their first gig in Dresden, because they had a car accident. But they are fine and they come back lat [ This is the summary, read the whole story on Website ]
Russlands Antwort auf Joy Division, die fidelen Jungs von Motorama sind wieder da – mit ihrer neuen Single «One moment» , die es, wie alle ihre bisherigen Veröffentlichungen, auf der Band-Website wiederum als Gratisdownload gibt und die den Hörer erneut mitnimmt auf eine Reise in die 80er Wave-Gefilde. Wer Motorama live sehen will, kann dies demnächst auch tun, wobei die Band leider ausgerechnet einen Bogen um Hamburg macht, buh! Dafür spielen sie sonst aber in eher selten auf Tourplänen auftauchenden Orten wie Esslingen oder Münster... 08.04. Dresden 09.04. Stuttgart 11.04. Esslingen 12.04. Frankfurt [...]

Quelques mois après l'excellentissime Alps qui avait séduit la rédaction ( chronique ), Motorama ( interview ) nous revient avec One Moment, single tout aussi impeccable, téléchargeable gratuitement sur le site du label Holiday Records ( lire ). Des beats entêtants, allégés par de divins arpèges printaniers, dominent. Le chanteur Vladislav semble avoir élargi son ambitus et pris de l'assurance par l'occasion. Le groupe de Rostov confirme son attachement à une pop éclatante qui enterre définitivement les premières influences cold. Le nouveau titre de Motorama allie brillamment maturité et innocence. [...]

I recently discovered this hidden gem of a band. They hail from Russia, you may recognize them from their main project Motorama . They are quite tricky though, they offer the album for free from their website , if you can find it of course ;) http://www.shelflife.com/mp3-b in/ytro-sad.mp3

Motorama – Wind In Her Hair There's so much noise floating out there on the web, many deserving artists can't help going unseen in the heat of it all. That's why I'm happy I can shine a spotlight on a five-piece post-punk gem located in Southern Russia. Motorama is a sonically textured new wave act with a sunny flair and a penchant for 80s pop. Their latest album, Alps , would serve anyone well on a road trip, as traveling is cited by the band as a major musical influence. And if you [...]

Prima che questo 2010 finisca voglio ricordarmi di segnalare una band che si è fatta notare nei mesi scorsi e di cui con tutta probabilità sentiremo ancora parlare nel 2011. Cosa abbastanza insolita per queste pagine, sono russi, si chiamano Motorama e provengono da Rostov-on-Don. Devo il suggerimento a Fede , che a sua volta l'aveva letto sul blog degli Horse Shoes . Insomma, c'è da fidarsi. Messo subito in chiaro che i Motorama suonano una new-wave ispirata in buona parte ai Joy Division, niente di troppo inconsueto, quello che mi sembra innegabile è che abbiano [...]

Long time, no post.... Drew (Horse Shoes) turned me onto Motorama. This is track is from the album Alps . The band has generously the whole album for download here . Download Listen to Motorama - Ships: http://www.shelflife.com/mp3-b in/b_motorama_ship.mp3

Heureuse découverte de cet été 2010, le groupe russe Motorama, dont l'excellent album Alps chroniqué il y a peu sur Hartzine est toujours téléchargeable gratuitement ici , se livre en toute simplicité. Ils évoquent Drew Barrymore, la Russie, la new wave, les nazis, Moby Dick et bien d'autres sujets encore en une seule interview… Rien que pour vous... Comment vous est venue l'idée de ce patronyme ? C'est une idée de notre premier bassiste. Il avait vu un film appelé Motorama avec Drew Barrymore. Nous trouvions que [...]

a place to bury strangers - i know i'll see you lcd soundsystem - no love lost motoroma - alps twin shadow - i can't wait

Motorama - Compass Whilst listening to Motorama for the first time, I was struck at first by just how familiar everything seemed. I dug the jangle, the melodies, the C86/Ideal Guest House leanings but delving deeper and deeper into Alps , I was overwhelmed with vibes heavy on the wistful side. There's a whimsical beauty apparent in their nostalgic approach. Kinda like looking at old family vacation snaps and zeroing in on the one that was taken accidentally. It's worn, faded, adorned with light leaks but you know it [...]
It's almost mid-summer and folks everywhere are having fun in the sun, BBQs, baseball games, surfing, swimming, fishing, hanging at the beach, and in general, making the best long hot days of July.

Well, I don't use this phrase often but the Tour de Cure turned into what can only be called a #EpicFAIL. First off, let me say thank you. Because of all of you, we raised $750 for diabetes research. THAT is pretty awesome, in my opinion, especially considering how little we pushed it this year (I just wasn't 100% that I'd be able to do it). Again, thank you! Okay, on to the disaster... I'll keep this relatively brief, as I really would like to put this behind me now. It goes a little something like this: [...]

Here's a tipp from J.A. : Motorama , shoegaze/indierock-band from Russia, offers a new EP for free. If you're not familiar with the band yet, check my earlier post here , and visit their website . Here are two earlier works, and the link for the Bear EP . Motorama - The Bear EP (ZIP-File) Motorama [...]
Today we start with a quote about blogging from the vacuous, but undeniably huge Internet blog phenomenon that is Sarah Morrison - "Write till your lil heart bleeds. And keep writing...Be the best you you can be. People are drawn to honesty and authenticity". YACHT Some bands are so experimental that they evolve into a self-indulgent mess of sounds that lose any sense of shape. Others allow their experimenting to push boundaries and discover new teritories, providing the listener with [...]

Motorama is a young indie-rock band from Rostov-on-Don, Russian Federation. They started playing music two years ago, making danceable post-punk music in the vein of Joy Division . Inspired by 80's new wave and independent dance scene, these youngsters compare nervous inflections with thick bass-lines and military drums. So far Motorama have released two EPs ( Bear , Horse ) and a demo as free downloads from their website.
