Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.If Anglo-Gallic psych-pop duo Motorifik had been around in the 1990s, they would probably have been on Creation Records, so perfectly do they embody that aesthetic, with churning slo-mo guitar grooves and great, anthemic choruses hovering on the edge of legibility.
The title-track opener here exemplifies their qualities, its Spectorised-indie sound blended from tom-toms, tambourine and massively reverbed vocals, with tiny glockenspiel details glittering atop the dense fuzz of noise. Think Jesus and Mary Chain and early Primal Scream. Elsewhere, "The Cause" features psychedelic tack-piano and voodoo stomp-beat bound up with tendrils of wiry guitar, and the acoustic "Nameless Colour" oozes pastoral calm, while "A Vision" and "Used Angel" recall Clinic and The Zombies respectively. A gorgeous noise.
