The Instant Forever The instant forever Contemplating every line The instant forever Make it all up, make it rhyme Valhalla knows Circling and saintly A painted rose Certainly tainted The instant forever Calculate the end at nine The instant forever Measuring the end of time And on it goes Ascendant and sainted A pure repose A dreamers film painted, untainted In the blissful suites She sinks so peacefully To a dreamless sleep With spirits all around and in her head She waits for you For you...

Orchestra Pit Of Flames Diamond peel smoke signatures Say "no one lives in my town" Invoking proud omens Sent Sunday - field trip ghost In the orchestra pit of flames When you want to rise back up We'll come back again In the orchestra pit of snakes When the flames are rising up We'll come back again In the school of light... Come back to us again!

The Virgo Blitz With everything crashing against your will There is no use sitting still And time spent just climbing up the walls It's everyone's time to fall While you're asleep in the window sill, hold still We're on the fritz Do the virgo blitz With everything turning up to nine And everything's fine Molecular living in a bind A dissonant mind When every synapsis comes alit We're on the fritz Do the Virgo Blitz And if it rains You won't have to stay in bed all day A higher plane To calculate, no light escapes (Imperfect narrator) Do the virgo blitz...

about

"...full of the delightful lo-fi underground pop and indie rock we’ve come to love about the band. It’s a loose and spontaneous blend of The Clean, Guided By Voices, Television Personalities, Wire, R.E.M, Superchunk, and the C-86 scene. Mythical Motors songs in general are concise and full of sweet and catchy melodies and their side of the tape contains several gems (The Instant Forever, Orchestra Pit Of Flames, Nebulous Heaven, and Circling Elaine).

HHBTM made 150 tapes of this release. Is it worth the purchase? You bet!"
-ADD TO WANTLIST

"Mythical Motors is a relatively new band, to me, and they’re just ripping up these sunny pop tunes... somewhere between the punch of GBV and the pop vibes of Superdrag (which is a compliment!)"
-AUSTIN TOWN HALL

"Mythical Motors have long tried to shake the GBV comparisons, and while they can be apt at times, it’s really time for listeners to drop that anchor and see them as inheritors rather than imitators. Their side of this cassette is full of their signature brand of jangly garage-pop, with songs rarely straying north of two minutes and melodies that speak to their affinity for 60’s psych-pop."
-Joshua Pickard, BEATS PER MINUTE

"...a power-pop sweet spot that’s reminiscent of Cheap Trick (“The Virgo Blitz”) and The Raspberries (“Nebulous Heaven”). And while Guided By Voices comparisons are par for the course, impressively the songs that most recall them (“They Invented Everything,” “On Circus Day”) sound more inspired by Tobin Sprout than Bob Pollard. Mostly, though, Mythical Motors sound like Mythical Motors—and the songs featured here are easily among their best."

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
