Motorpsycho is a studio album by Norwegian rock band Motorpsycho, released on February 21, 2025, through Det Nordenfjeldske Grammofonselskab.[3] The eponymously titled album is available in CD, vinyl (double album) and digital download formats.
Upon the announcement of the album, the band stated that it has now officially been downsized to a two-piece group that will be joined by guest musicians.[4]
Reviews were generally more favorable than the two previous "Covid" albums. Sputnikmusic gave the album a 4.1 ("excellent")[5] rating, while Prog Archives gave it an aggregated 4.21 ("excellent addition to any prog rock music collection") score, saying "honestly this record feels like a manifesto of all their great moments bundled into one package".[6]
According to Echoes & Dust, "From prog, cabaret, krautrock, pop-orientated, alternative rock, freak-out sessions, and psychedelic adventures, the band have gone back through the adventures once more to prove themselves that they can kick plenty of asses with mesmerising punches that come out of the blue."[7]
Maxazine gave the album an 8 out of 10 score, saying: "With this release Motorpsycho proves, 36 years after their debut, they are still able to explore new horizons. An 8/10 for a band that refuses to come to a standstill, always on the road to new frontiers."[8]
Plattentests.de[de] also gave the album an 8/10 rating, writing: "Motorpsycho have resolutely wiped off the table any doubts about their creativity. In their fourth decade the Norwegians have definitely become an institution. (...) The current album with its occasional trips into their own past is a delightful invitation to that history."[9]
