Motorpsycho - Yay! (2023)

 

The 26th album from this band from Norway.

The band was a trio with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

Two guests added viola, violin, flute and female vocals.

The band were back for their annual album release.

Always expect the unexpected is the golden rule when it comes to this band. 

This forty-three minutes long album is no exception from that rule. 

The music is mostly acoustic. Not only acoustic.... it is tender and beautiful at the same time. Two words I never ever thought I would use on a Motorpsycho album... or anything from that band. But those two words is the only fitting words describing this album.

Gone is the brutal harshness from most of their albums. Gone is the hard psych. What is remaining is still psych rock, but this time tender and beautiful psych rock. Melodic too with some good vocals and a couple of superb guitar solos too. Two of their finest ever guitar solos.

The music is really good. OK, this album is a grower and needs time to really settle. It is still a good album and an album who proves that we should always expect the unexpected from this band.
