Motorpsycho - Black Hole Blank Canvas (2006)

The 12th album from this band from Norway.

The band is now reduced to a duo with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

A guest added drums on one track.

This is a double album, clocking in at over eighty minutes.

You never know what you get from this very unpredictable band. Unpredictability who makes this band so interesting and never boring. 

The album starts out with some psych rock in the vein of good old west coast psych rock. It mostly stays in the same vein too. Add some power pop and some garage rock and you get this album.

The music is pretty hard at times and has a loose, dirty sound. That with intent. Some songs has a cleaner sound. Most of the songs, make it all of them, are really quirky and weird. That for those of us who has not grown up with this band. Some of you have done just that.

The vocals is good and the guitars are cool.

The result is a bit of an overkill, eighty-five minutes of this music, that is. I am a bit doubtful here but I am still landing on a good, a weak good rating. This is an album well worth checking out.
