Portland, Oregon’s Møtrik have announced their fourth album, EARTH, and shared the first encounter with single “Ultimate Drive”. The album is slated to release on vinyl, CD, and digitally October 24th, 2025 on Jealous Butcher Records. Pre-orders are now live.
On EARTH, Møtrik delivers a sprawling, celestial journey through the outer limits of krautrock.
From the glittering awe and breath-counting disorientation of “Weightless” to the tidal reckoning of “Ultimate Drive,” EARTH charts a course through sonic paradox; between body and void, machine and soul, end and beginning.
This fourth full-length cements their status not as revivalists, but as genre-shapers in their own right, equal parts sci-fi ritual, motorik propulsion, and kosmiche pastiche.
Møtrik — Erik Golts (bass/vocals/synthesizers), Cord Amato (guitar, synthesizer), Lee Ritter (drums), Jonah Nolde (guitar, synthesizers), and Dave Fulton (synthesizers/sequencers) — channel krautrock’s pulse through a kaleidoscope prism of cosmic textures, hypnotic rhythms, and alien clarity.
