Motorists’ second album had a lengthy gestation period, written in the year following their 2021 self-produced debut, Surrounded, which Allmusic described as “an abundance of thoughtfully arranged hooks.” In the six months leading to their recording sessions for Touched By The Stuff, the band picked up the pace, with both Learoyd and Fahner barely sneaking songs under the wire. Instrumentals were recorded live off the floor, before the trio ran wild with overdubs, weaving organs, vibraphones, and handclaps into their mellifluous harmonies. Inspired by the big shiny tunes flooding FM radio airwaves in the 1990s, Toronto trio Motorists go full throttle on their sophomore album.

Returning to their original home of Vancouver after spending over half of their lifespan in Toronto and reuniting with band members from throughout their cross-country existence, the reanimated trio have combined the charged energy of a fresh start with the sharpened songwriting of a veteran group. The resulting 10-song collection is the most cohesive, contemplative release in Tough Age’s decade-spanning discography. Evolving alongside their wide-ranging influences, Waiting Here slows the frenetic pace of Tough Age’s previous LPs via mesmerizing guitarmonies (“Scattered”), Enochanneling surf drone (“In a Garden”), and an expansive Yo La Tengo-esque riff meditation (“Getting Closer”). The 12-string jangling “Time \u0026amp; Again” is frontman Jarrett Evan Samson’s attempt to write a pre-folk-revival Fairport Convention song played by The Byrds, juxtaposed by twee punk ripper “Paradise by Another Name” with lead vocals from bombastic bassist Lauren Smith. Soaring pop stunner “Which Way Am I?”, cut from Tough Age’s 2020 album of the same name, gleefully spreads confusion with the twisted world-building logic of Guided By Voices or The Fall. Waiting Here concludes with its blown-out organ jam title track, cycling back to the band’s Flying Nun loving origins in a worthy successor to The Clean’s “Tally Ho!”. The wait has been worth it. Packed with patient, bittersweet hooks, Waiting Here includes lyrical themes of loving contentment, catharsis rooted in realism, and pushing back against paralyzing fears. These songs may sound familiar, but they emerged from a feeling of nostalgia looking forwards, as the trio continued to broaden and refine their singular approach to pop. For Tough Age, finding a place of comfort with the people you cherish is a catalyst to keep moving ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bobo Integral","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50466308686155,"sku":"2020211","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a0065232976_10_f4526ad0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727311358"},{"product_id":"memory-s-fool","title":"Memory's Fool","description":"\u003cp\u003eToronto (soft) (jazz) (folk) rock poet Fortunato Durutti Marinetti (a Dan Colussi's moniker after Pinc Lincolns or The Shilohs).

Primary Colours marks a new chapter in Dropkick's career, following on from the success of The Wireless Revolution (2023).

Themes of love, loss, and the inevitable passage of time permeate the songs, each rich with harmony and lyrical depth. The album kicks off with \"Left Behind\", a soaring anthem that sets the tone for the record. The title track, \"Primary Colours\", captures the album's essence with vibrant, evocative melodies. The schooldays nostalgia of \"Dreams Expire\" offers a haunting, introspective moment, while tracks like \"Too Much of the Same\" explore the repetitiveness of life and relationships with a reflective, yet infectious energy.
