RELEASE DATE

One day, in the 25th year of the
Motorpsycho
delic Union, the forces of D/Numbness were finally vanquished. Once again the intergalactic Four Norsemen of the Rock Avant could fly their veg zeppelin unchallenged across the solar plains, their mission complete and the righteous deed done! For still they held sway, and on this day at least -- somewhere
Behind the Sun
-- they were triumphant! For their previous album
Still Life with Eggplant
(RCD 2143CD/RLP 3143LP) they assembled some 20 songs of what
Bent Sæther
called "other music," simply songs from the last three years that didn't suit the operatic
Unicorn
behemot, but refused to be ignored. For most of the recording sessions the core trio was augmented by guitarist
Reine Fiske
. Best known for his work in Swedish psych-combos
Dungen
and
The Amazing
, Reine is an old acquaintance of the band, and his recent exploits with
Ståle Storløkken
's
Elephant9
had made the pairing seem like a potentially interesting one for Motorpsycho as well. So well, in fact, that he tagged along for most live shows as well as the recording of the new magnum opus
Behind the Sun
. With nine tracks clocking in at just over an hour, the album also brings the "Hell, Part 1-3" from
Still Life with Eggplant
to a conclusion on "Hell, Part 4-6" and the closing track "Hell, Part 7." And as with
Still Life with Eggplant
, the recording was done in Brygga Studio in their hometown of Trondheim where they had recorded a few of their first albums 20 years ago. Guests this time, in addition to Reine Fiske, is
Ole Henrik Moe
on viola and saw and
Kari Rønnekleiv
on violin, both known from their Norwegian Grammy-winning album
Ciaccona/3 Persephone Perceptions
from 2007. It's safe to say that after 25 years, Motorpsycho has cemented their position as an institution in Norwegian music -- no rock band has even been close to achieving the same status when it comes to long-term quality, credibility, integrity and respect. It's also extremely rare to see bands and artists continue to flourish artistically after such a long time. In fact, we can't think of any.
