Mōta, Below Giants and DJ Gidget
MuzicNet: 5/5 stars
“Dunedin band MōTA has announced their arrival in New Zealand’s alt-rock scene with their debut album One, a brilliant seven-track burst of raw energy...[ ]...If you hunger for music
that’s equal parts power and grace, MōTA’s beautifully arranged debut is set to get you on the dance floor and hijack your pulse...”
“...attention-grabbing and masterfully discordant. It’s a whirlwind of soaring vocals peppered with poetic fire, bass lines that surge like ocean tides, and crashing drums.”
“One is a sonic statement that feels both timeless and current, a testament to MōTA’s ability to
channel their Dunedin roots into something universally electrifying”
What sets One apart is the balance of alternative styles combined with post-punk edginess,
beautiful song structures coalescing into cohesive Te Reo passages.”
“MōTA have crafted an album that’s...[ ]... a bold step into NZ’s alt-rock future.”
