[STREAM]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXKw6nnpsHg “Few Dallas bands can claim a pedigree as strong as MOTORCADE’s, so it’s not a surprise
they just released one of the best North Texas songs of the year,” proclaims
Eric Grubbs of Central Track, the
influential Dallas-based music discovery website. “Recalling the layered bliss
of Echo & the Bunnymen’s Ocean
Rain (and especially its opening ‘Silver’
cut), ‘Slip’ is three minutes of
dense joy.” +++
MOTORCADE | In The Press “A Britpop-flavored, love-at-first-listen.” — KXT, Dallas “Mixing post-punk with ‘60s psychedelia.” — Central
Track “An 80’s pop wonder. Brilliant.” — Somewherecold “A charming piece of indie rock.” — MAGNET +++ MOTORCADE See
You In The Nothing (Idol Records) April 15, 2022
In the four years since the glorious darkness of MOTORCADE first hit the scene, life got
a little bit darker, but somehow, more glorious. Maybe the Dallas-based band’s name represents one of
its town’s terrible moments? It’s not meant to be morbid, but reminds of
mortality. Working within that context, the four veteran
musicians of MOTORCADE manage to document
beauty and vitality with their upcoming second album. This music feels immortal! Listen for some of the band’s heroes – think late ‘80s
/ early ‘90s button-the-top-button bands such as The Cure, Depeche Mode, New Order, and The Jesus and Mary Chain – peeking through on the 11 original tunes
comprising See You In The Nothing (April
15, Idol Records.) And don’t forget The
Smiths: Drummer Mike Joyce has
already spun MOTORCADE on his UK-based
radio show. Heroes peeking through, or as influential
Chicago-based scribe, Greg Kot put
it when naming MOTORCADE’s debut as one
of his best albums of 2018, “The Dallas band has a profound affinity for
the new wave and post punk of the ‘80s, not as nostalgia but as a timeless
vehicle for self-expression.” Similarly, the band became a hit with the Dallas NPR-affiliate KXT that year. The influence was also felt by Minneapolis Public Radio station 89.3 The Current, which named MOTORCADE’s
“Walk With Me” one of its “Top
100 Tracks of 2018.” This kind of expert appropriation of sound is the work
of some of the busiest musicians on the Dallas scene. Over the years, band members John Dufilho (Bass, Voice), James
Henderson (Guitar, Keyboards, Voice), Andrew
Huffstetler (Voice), and Jeff Ryan
(Drums), have variously recorded and toured with St.
Vincent, The Apples in Stereo, The War on Drugs, the late, great Daniel Johnston, and many more. Forgive the four years between records, but it took
the world closing and the resultant long and late nights in a locked down city
in order for See You In The Nothing to even exist. The finished product is so worth it. Here in 2022, with accolades for its debut feeding the
new material, we have the current MOTORCADE
single “Slip,” which is perfection. “Recalling the layered bliss of Echo & The Bunnymen’s Ocean Rain (and especially its
opening “Silver” cut), ‘Slip’ is three minutes of dense joy,”
says Central Track, the go-to local
music discovery website for Dallas. “It’s one of the finest singles released by
a North Texas-based act this year.” Darker, but somehow, more glorious. See You In The Nothing, the second album by Dallas-based foursome MOTORCADE, arrives on April 15, 2022 via Idol Records. Members of
MOTORCADE are available for
interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
