about

"...Every melody hits like a hook... Destined to be another top tier addition to what is a truly wonderful body of work."
-Heavymetalkids.uk

"...this album boldly ventures into uncharted territory, blending elements of psychedelic rock, folk, and dream pop to create a mesmerizing sonic journey. If fairness truly existed, this band would be a household name."
-Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative

"Upside Down World is a lo-fi underground pop gem of a record. It simmers, it jangles, and it rocks."
-Add To Wantlist

"Hot on the heels of revelling in being I Don't Hear A Single's Best Album Of 2023 with The Sunshine Registry, we have another... There is an IRS vibe present on Upside Down World, a mid 80s UK Jangle and even a Psych tinge across the album. It will delight those who know and may his most accessible yet in welcoming new believers... listen to the complete album. It will only take you 27 minutes or so and your life will be much richer."
I Don't Hear A Single

"Cuts like “Take A Trip,” “Kick the Waves,” “Over Titan River,” and the brilliant title track drive it home like a Ken Griffey Jr. home run straight over center field... Addison is on a real roll here. Longtime fans are already on their 10th play and it’s a perfect place for M.M. newbies to start as well!"
-Dagger Zine

"Take a Trip" takes inspiration from "Driver 8"-era R.E.M. and kicks things off on a strong note. "Over Titan River" and the superb title cut find a sweet spot that may make listeners raised on Tommy Keene and Wire Train records very happy indeed. There are more ideas here than on records twice this length..."
-A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed

"some of the project’s strongest moments can be found within this 27-minute, fourteen-song collection. Mythical Motors are at their fizziest in the opening stretch of Upside Down World, with “Take a Trip”, “Temporary Giants”, and the title track all going down as instant power pop classics. They’ve just released a career highlight without a moment of wasted space–if Mythical Motors have passed you by thus far, Upside Down World is a great starting point."
-Rosy Overdrive

"Echoes of Wire, Ex-Pilots, R.E.M., and (insert your favorite C86 band here), ...sharp songwriting and knack for mining a hook out of any riff. This is one I found myself playing 2-3 times in a row at each session."
-On Repeat

"Melodic garage rock that clocks in under two minutes with moments of pure jangle pop joy."
-Spectral Nights, on "Court Of The Beekeeper"

"... Power-pop brightness that seems to swear we’ll have a better tomorrow, in emotion alone. Matt Addison’s voice has this gentleness in its presentation that you can’t escape either, taking the early wistfulness and pushing it to the next level."
-Austin Town Hall on "Take A Trip"

"This new song has some glistening guitar work with a cool up and down melody which sucks you in. Also, Addison’s soaring vocals sound in fine form as well. If the rest of the LP is half as good as this single, then it’ll be aces!"
-Dagger Zine on "Take A Trip"

about

Mythical Motors Chattanooga, Tennessee

"With crashing power chords worthy of Pete Townshend, insidious melodies that you’d expect to find on a Clean album, and an offhand energy that’d make Robert Pollard green with energy, there’s nothing mythical going on here: It’s vivid, purposeful, and NOW.

Give Mythical Motors some love right now, so they don’t have to wait a few decades to get their due."
- FRED MILLS, BLURT MAGAZINE ... more
