“It’s all so perfectly crafted that it feels less like new wave homage and more like an actual album of the era.” — Soundblab

“I wrote the chorus for this first, months before I came back to it to finish it off,” says James Henderson of Dallas-based band MOTORCADE about “Deliver,” the latest single from the foursome’s debut album. MOTORCADE was released via Idol Records this past Friday, with the band playing a sold-out record release show the following evening.

Hear “Deliver” now via music discovery website MXDWN here. The track 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. KXT is now also spinning the second MOTORCADE single “Desertion.”

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.

“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 is out on Idol Records. Members of MOTORCADE are available for interviews. Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
