Once called “America’s Best Krautrock Band,” Møtrik has long since outgrown the boundaries of geography and imitation. On Earth, their fourth full-length album, the Portland-based quintet sheds genre pastiche and boldly steps into their own orbit - less homage, more evolution.

Where early sci-fi like Astounding Stories imagined futures grounded in scientific plausibility, Earth occupies a realm where machinery hums with feeling and cosmic logic collides with soul. Here, synths shimmer with stardust, rhythms churn like solar flares, and vocals drift like signals from a lost planet. From the gravity-defying pulse of “Weightless” to the tidal reckoning of “Ultimate Drive,” Møtrik charts a course through disorientation, beauty, and the sublime unknown.

This isn’t retro-futurism - it’s the future, now. No tin-cone breastplates, no cartoon ladybots, no techbro rockets. Just fully realized sonic transmissions where science meets magic, and krautrock becomes something galactic.

Møtrik aren’t just referencing the genre - they’re rewriting it. Thirteen years in, it’s time to upgrade the superlative. Call them what they are: the galaxy’s best krautrock band.
