Description
Motorists are from Canada. Motorists' second album had a lengthy gestation period, written in the year following their 2021 self-produced debut, Surrounded, which Allmusic described as "an abundance of thoughtfully arranged hooks." In the six months leading to their recording sessions for Touched By The Stuff, the band picked up the pace, with both Learoyd and Fahner barely sneaking songs under the wire. Instrumentals were recorded live off the floor, before the trio ran wild with overdubs, weaving organs, vibraphones, and handclaps into their mellifluous harmonies. Inspired by the big shiny tunes flooding FM radio airwaves in the 1990s, Toronto trio Motorists go full throttle on their sophomore album. Now propelled by powerhouse drummer Nick Mckinlay, guitarist Craig Fahner and bassist Matt Learoyd channel stadium-sized power-pop through the gauzy fuzz of '90s alt rock, like Big Star swerving into Hotline TNT.
