Description
Label: Jealous Butcher Records
Once called “America’s Best Krautrock Band,” Møtrik has long since outgrown the boundaries of geography and imitation. On EARTH, their fourth full-length album, the Portland-based quintet sheds genre pastiche and boldly steps into their own orbit—less homage, more evolution.
Where early sci-fi like Astounding Stories imagined futures grounded in scientific plausibility, EARTH occupies a realm where machinery hums with feeling and cosmic logic collides with soul. Here, synths shimmer with stardust, rhythms churn like solar flares, and vocals drift like signals from a lost planet. From the gravity-defying pulse of “Weightless” to the tidal reckoning of “Ultimate Drive,” Møtrik charts a course through disorientation, beauty, and the sublime unknown.
This isn’t retro-futurism—it’s the future, now. No tin-cone breastplates, no cartoon ladybots, no techbro rockets. Just fully realized sonic transmissions where science meets magic, and krautrock becomes something galactic.
Møtrik aren’t just referencing the genre—they’re rewriting it. Thirteen years in, it’s time to upgrade the superlative. Call them what they are: the galaxy’s best krautrock band.
