Deliciously lo-fi, but much more Guitar Pop than most labelled such. The killer choruses shouldn't be ignored having more in common with Power Pop. Who else could write and perform a song as catchy as The Queen Of Fleeting Moments?
There have been masses of column inches about Mythical Motors here. The albums constantly bother our Best Albums Of The Year culminating in our 2023 Album Of The Year for the magnificent The Sunrise Registry and the Listening To This Week Playlists adorn Addison's songs.
This isn't favouritism, there has never been anything but great on the albums he releases and this one is the first on Vinyl. Credit isn't high enough for his vocal, the mellowness lights up the songs rising high above the reputation of most lo-fi recordings. Addison can also Jangle with the best of them.
You sense that with a big studio budget that Mythical Motors would dominate the scene, but the opportunity to mess and constantly add to songs might take away the effect of the songs, the recording moment and you also sense that Addison is happiest as he is.
Critically lauded and rightly so, the DIY approach is perfect for Addison. I could go into detail about each song, but I'd rather you listen, Tremolo On The Punchline is just as great as the last album and will be just as great as the next which will be along soon. Absolutely Recommended!
You can listen to and buy the album here. It is available on Vinyl and as a download.
