Portland’s MØTRIK channel the driving pulse of krautrock through hypnotic rhythms, cosmic synth textures and motorik propulsion, earning a reputation as one of the most exciting modern bands working within the genre. Over the last decade, the five-piece have shared stages with acts including Thee Oh Sees, Cloud Nothings and Minami Deutsch, building a powerful live reputation across the US.
Their upcoming fourth album EARTH, released via Jealous Butcher Records, pushes their sound deeper into sci-fi psychedelia and futuristic minimalism. Blending kosmische atmospheres, pulsing electronics and detached post-human cool, tracks like lead single Ultimate Drive cement MØTRIK as far more than revivalists — crafting immersive, cinematic music that feels both retro-futurist and unmistakably modern.
