Rune Grammofon

Motorpsycho is a Norwegian rock band that was formed in Trondheim in 1989. The original line-up consisted of Bent Sæther, Hans Magnus Ryan, and Kjell Runar Jenssen. They derived their name from a Russ Meyer film and released their first album "Lobotomizer" in 1991. After the departure of Jenssen, Håkon Gebhardt joined as the drummer and remained with the band for 14 years until his departure in 2005 to pursue other projects.
Their music is characterized by its diverse range of styles, incorporating elements of progressive rock, psychedelia, and alternative rock. Over the years, Motorpsycho has gained a loyal following with their unique sound and experimental approach to songwriting.
With numerous albums under their belt, Motorpsycho continues to push boundaries and captivate audiences worldwide with their dynamic live performances. Their enduring presence in the music industry is a testament to their talent and dedication as musicians.

For 'Still Life With Eggplant' Motorpsycho assembled some 20 songs of what Bent Saether calls 'other music', simply songs from the last three years that didn't suit the Unicorn but refused to be ignored. In October the band entered Brygga Studio in Trondheim for the first time in many, many moons, this being the studio where they recorded a few of their first albums ('Soothe', 'Demon Box' and 'Timothy's Monster') some twenty years ago. This time the core trio was augumented by guitarist Reine Fiske. Best known for his work in Swedish psych-combos Dungen and The Amazing, Reine is an old acquaintance of the band, and his recent exploits with Elephant9 made the pairing seem like a potentially interesting one for Motorpsycho as well. The fruits of Reine's involvement, as presented on this album, speak for themselves: his fingerpicking dexterity on the acoustic guitar provides both 'Barleycorn' and the old Love chestnut 'August' with a solid organic bed for the musical escapades of the other three, and on 'The Afterglow' his tasteful guitar shadings and mellotron work adds immensly to the mood of the song.
