Fact #117644

Rostov-On-Don in Southern Russia is not internationally-renowned for rock bands, but the electro-pop quintet Motorama might be about to change all that. From the opening moments of Corona, they’ll sweep you into a warm, fuzzy trance reminiscent of New Order before introducing strong overtones of Kraftwerk in Dispersed Energy. This is their third album, and it marks a significant progression beyond the rock-oriented material which they displayed on their 2010 debut. Airin Marchenko’s richly melodic bass lines, Alexander Norets’ subtle synth textures, and Vladislav Parshin’s atmospherically twinkling guitars/mesmeric vocals make this one a priority listen.
