The single dropped with an official music video directed by Fa and Fon, the London based duo known for their work within multi visual design.
The new album has also sired four previously released tracks, all of which have garnered great critical acclaim. Stereogum described the album’s third single “Brad Pit” as “one of the best ’80s synth-pop updates”. The next single to be released “Goosebumps” also received rave reviews, Flood declared the track was “a sincere love song that blossoms into sexy synth-rock”.
The press release for Motordrome describes the origin story behind the album’s name and the healing properties in which the process held, “Motordrome’s title came from a conversation MØ had with her mother about her battles with anxiety—the panic and intrusive thoughts called to mind the dødstrome, an old carnival trick in which a stuntperson rides a motorcycle around the vertical walls of a motordrome at death-defying speeds. The making of the album proved to be MØ’s escape from this deepening spiral, although the album is very much a document of a person-in-progress. While there is a strong sense of empowerment and of brighter days ahead, it also serves as a reminder that everyone has to deal with their own dødstrome—that there is no perfect remedy for life’s struggles, and that’s OK.”
Fans from all over the globe will be able to purchase tickets to watch the live stream, dates and times for each territory can be found below. Along with the recently announce streamed event, MØ will also be hitting the road in July for a series of live performances in Europe and North America.
