Coltrane Motion are a couple of small-town Ohio expatriates, now making noise in Chicago with their new album 'Songs About Music'. Lead singer Michael Bond records sixties-obsessed electronic pop in his home studio, while guitarist Matt Dennewitz covers it all in wailing distortion and delay at their live shows - the result is a raucous wall of sound built out of drum loops and fuzzed-out melodies, held together by swirling synths and organ drones. It's an indie rock dance record that doesn't follow the DFA/NME template, leaning more on 90s shoegazers and 60s soul jams than the usual post-punk influences.
The group has its origins in a handful of lo-fi CD-R and compilation releases, culminating in 2005's well-received 'No Well OK Maybe Just A Little' EP, and a series of successful tours across the US & Canada. Their frantic live show has been described by the press as an 'exuberant seizure' and 'the cool kids in programming class', its dance-punk intensity a far cry from your usual laptop performances.
They've spent this last year touring, DJing, and recording a new EP to be released in 2008.
