“I like that there’s some nice psychedelia in this one,” says James Henderdson of Dallas-based band MOTORCADE about “Desertion,” the foursome’s new single, out today. “That was the original aim of the whole record, to mix post-punk and 60's psychedelia.”

The track, premiered this week via cutting-edge music discovery website PopMatters, is the follow-up to the local hit “Recover,” which has been in steady rotation via Dallas’ nationally recognized community radio station KXT for nearly a year.

The members of MOTORCADE bring years of experience to the band. Andrew Huffstetler (Voice), Henderson (Guitar, Keyboards, Voice), John Dufilho (Bass, Voice), and Jeff Ryan (Drums) -- have previously recorded and/or been in touring bands with St. Vincent, The War on Drugs, Daniel Johnston, The Apples in Stereo, Pleasant Grove, and many more.

The fruit of these dues paid is a fine and fluid debut album that hits on every pressure point of late 80s-early 90s songcraft ala Depeche Mode, New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and so on. The self-titled debut album arrives via Idol Records on Jan. 19^th, and MOTORCADE has just-announced a record release show in Dallas for the following evening, Jan. 20^th. See below for more info.

“When we first started actively playing together, we had a couple of my ideas and just played them to see if we could do it,” says Henderson, which ultimately led MOTORCADE to become an actual thing. “It worked out alright, but then I realized we’d need more songs,” he continues. “So that was the impetus to start writing.”

The rest of the album is no afterthought. Everything here is sent over the moon by serious production chops and musicianship, owing again to the substantial pedigree that these guys came to the studio with. It’s an aspect of record-making that is seemingly ignored by younger bands making music influenced by this era.

“For me, production and songwriting go hand-in-hand,” Henderson says. The sounds are every bit as important as the notes and chords being played.”

The self-titled debut album by Dallas-based MOTORCADE arrives via Idol Records on Jan. 19^th, 2018, preceded by the singles “Recover” and “Desertion,” streaming now. Members of MOTORCADE are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
