Our Daily Buzz today comes from this all American quartet hailing from Brooklyn going by the name of MOTHXR. They have just released their debut album ‘Centerfold’ and we bring you one of the standout out tracks from their album as today’s Daily Buzz. This track being the fantastic ‘Touch’ which is described by the American indie pop four piece as a track about “Romantic despair and sexual disillusionment.”
It’s easy to hear this throughout the track as it’s a downbeat, dark and heavy track full of muted guitar riffs, low vocals and building synths. It’s a slick track with an old school beat that drives the song and builds into a massive instrumental full of layered cinematic droning synths. Their debut album is full of experimental tracks and sounds just like those showcased in ‘Touch’ and for a debut album it has a great consistency and is worth checking out!
These guys are currently on tour across Europe supporting The Neighbourhood’ and will be playing in the UK later this month. Check them out below!

Penn Badgley, known for his role in Gossip Girl, has certainly had to work effortlessly with his Mothxr group not to be placed in the category "singer for babes." One would ignore this audiovisual prank, but it was the highlight because over listening to his first album Centerfold, the quartet from Brooklyn happen gradually to erase the past. First with the suave "Stranger" gentle rhythm all the way through a dark tablecloth uncertain where echoes are lost. But the real surprise lies in Centerfold "Underground", which begins with a bass line which could have been breaking out a rock song. Finally, it brings a pop ballad addictive, both for its power than the innocence of words. Emphasize the beauty of "Victim" and his saxophone that offers him many thanks. Not an album for chicks then, but a disk that soothes and heralds a promising musical future for our four New Yorkers.
