Before the pandemic there was a band I missed out seeing live that was Toronto’s Motorists.
The band consists of Craig Fahner (Feel Alright and Leather Jacuzzi), bassist Matt Learoyd, and drummer Jesse Locke (Tough Age and Chandra)
Today the band dropped the music video for Through To You.
The leading single is taken from their debut album Surrounded which comes out on September 3, 2021 via We Are Time (USA), Bobo Integral (ROW), Debt Offensive (CAN)
A fun upbeat jangly indie pop throwback vibe tune.
About the track:
“It’s an unabashedly nostalgic song, both musically and lyrically. It’s about teenage love, fucking around in the summertime, and most of all, the joy of finding a shared language beyond words to connect with the people around you on a language that operates outside of the rigidity of everyday life.
The video, created by Fahner and Michelle Lemay, features the band performing live in-studio. It harkens back to the ’70s and ’80s German TV program Beat Club, which featured live performances from musicians playing against a backdrop of analog video psychedelia.
Through To You gets:
/10.
