Motion Turns It On Offering CD Advances On Current Tour

10/29/2009
. (PR) When the Silent Ballet stated that Motion Turns It On threw the gauntlet down to jazzy post-rockers everywhere with their debut EP, RIMA, it was sorta a surprise when they picked up their own damn gauntlet. A live album soon followed, showcasing Motion's blazing live chops and unit coherence on stage as well as in the studio. Now enter, Kaleidoscopic Equinox (Feb 16), their first true LP and first with Chocolate Lab.

Motion Turns It On are on the road now, touring the US in anticipation of the album release. They will also be selling advance version of KE at live shows.

Kaleidoscopic Equinox is a kick you in the throat, French-kiss your mom, take your Xbox and pawn it affair; oozing with rambunctious drums (Steve Smith), dizzying keys (Andres Londono) and devastating guitar (William Kenny). The x-factor this time around though is vocal, shedding the "instrumental" stigma that's been hovering around the band. Lyrics are a Spartan affair, layering with the instruments to augment the reality of the music; guitarist/vocalist Kenny uses his larynx as another instrument in the assault on your auditory system.
