    The Motors return (have they ever left?) with another huge batch of pop delights fresh out of the garage and right into our earholes. The Chattanooga band- led by Robert Pollard disciple Matt Addison- channels Guided by Voices and a host of lo-fi psychedelic and power pop heroes into 22 hook-driven mini sci-fi masterpieces.
    Todd Tobias of GBV fame lends his mastering expertise to the band's 12th overall album.

    CASSETTES WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM FALL BREAK RECORDS:

    "...from the icy synths that wash over the track like gusts of cool air, to the group vocals toward the end that take the song from humble to epic in fewer than two minutes. Anyone who has ever listened to Guided By Voices and Mythical Motors will inevitably notice similarities between the two bands: if you appreciate one, you’re bound to enjoy the other."
    -Counterzine, from their premiere of "1000 Crossing Hearts"

    "In 2018 alone, Mythical Motors released two EPs... then a full length record in October. But, don’t let the quantity fool you. Addison’s output is full of gorgeous pop songwriting"
    -Speak Into My Good Eye, from their premiere of "Crashing Waves Of Fascination"

-Speak Into My Good Eye, from their premiere of "Crashing Waves Of Fascination"

"Addison and crew blast through lo-fi power pop anthems like GBV or early Sloan without a studio budget. Don’t let that fool you – it all sounds great. Addison has proven over [*counts on fingers*] a bunch of releases that he’s quite the able songwriter, and his chops just keep improving."
-Ryan Masteller, Cassette Gods


"Listening to a new Mythical Motors release is a lot like finding a rare, vintage import tucked away in the back of a record shop. There is an initial joy of discovery—hey, something new!—swiftly followed by the realization that the album in your hands is something quite special."
-Marc Michael, The Chattanooga Pulse

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
