New York, NY (Top40 Charts) �Tragedy is still the best ingredient for beautiful music.� � The FADER
"Musically this song [Touch] is a slinky, falsetto-slick cut full of cinematic synths and a strutting, palm muted guitar line. It's very cool...there's something playful in this MOTHXR's wry lip curl." � Noisey
�This is sex music� � Huffington Post
MOTHXR�s highly anticipated debut album Centerfold is out today via Washington
Square Music. The record is available now on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify. MOTHXR will celebrate the record with an album release show tonight at Baby�s All Right in their local Brooklyn neighborhood before heading off to
Europe as direct support to The
Neighbourhood this March followed by a US run with Polica in April & May (full tour dates below).
Traveling with minimal analog recording gear, MOTHXR spent four weeks recording their album between Los Angeles,
Chicago and New York. The band recorded five songs in five days on their way to completing the eleven tracks that would become Centerfold.
�We�re making something artful and we want people to receive it however they want to enjoy it,� vocalist Penn Badgley recently told Huffington Post Live of the album. �It�s like indie rock with an R&B influence and a new wave feel - with a lot of electronic synth.�
MOTHXR is Penn Badgley (vocals, guitar), Jimmy Giannopoulos (bassist/producer),
Simon Oscroft (guitar) and Darren Will (keyboards).
