A couple weeks ago Øya Festival announced a poll on their site, where their audience got to choose which of 15 classic Motorpsycho albums the group will play at this summer’s festival.
Today the festival announced the winner, 1994’s Timothy’s Monster, an album that has been in the lead for weeks. The album was originally released as a double CD and triple LP, which means we have a good, long concert to look forwards to in August!
According to the Norwegian version of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (2006) Timothy’s Monster was “the bomb the blew all limits of what one could allow oneself to do on a Norwegian rock album”.
The album was recorded by Motorpsycho’s trio Bent Sæther, Snah and Ghebhart, with Lars Lien and Helge ‘Deathprod’ Sten, in Trondheim 1994, and was their first release on a major label (EMI). The first 11 songs are classic Motorpsycho rock bombarded by the band’s signature melodies, while the last four are longer, druggier compositions, drowning the listener in Motorpsycho’s psychedelic universe.
