"The harmonies on Moody Motorcycle are so dense and lushly constructed that it’s hard at points to discern who’s doing the singing most of the time." Prefix rating: 8.5

ICI Review

Four out of five stars.

Moody Motorcycle streaming in its entirety on Myspace...

Yup, that's right. If you've been revving to hear more swoony sweetness from Human Highway, look no further. The album is currently streaming in its entirety on the band's Myspace page. It'll be in stores across Canada next week, and as always, you can pre-order the thing directly from us, too.

Get the new Human Highway single on iTunes!

Little known fact: the Human Highway album, Moody Motorcycle, was the first thing to be played over the big fancy sound system at the new Apple Store in Montreal. Ok, so it was only full of employees and members of Adam & the Amethysts (Miracle Fortress fans take note!), but still. Anyway, the fine folks at iTunes are also offering an advance single from the album for your purchasing support. Check it out!

"Full of lazy Sunday afternoon strums, sweet and subtle harmonies, and the kind of breezy pop you might hear on AM radio if you traveled back in time to the 50s, it's a collection of songs even your grandma could warm up to."

Hero Hill Review

"The interesting breakdown and depression that riddles the tropical vibe of My Beach (the whole album really) might go unnoticed until you get crank up your headphones, but shows how creative this duo can be when focused properly. The arrangements are complex, but never overwhelming."

Moody Motorcycle hits the street August 19th

Not long now! Word of Jim Guthrie and Nick Thorburn's swoony new collaborative effort as Human Highway is starting to get around. Moody Motorcycle hits the street on August 19th, and we think it's going to have more than a few people talking about it. It's pretty, it's catchy, it's deceptively simple at times, but also full of all the strangely enticing nooks and crannies you'd expect from both these guys. For those curious about how the album came to be, Pitchfork has a recent interview with Nick about the whole thing. For the rest of you just anxious to get your hands on it... get your pre-orders in!

MOKB love

"One of my favorite albums I've heard this year."

Nick Thorburn Pitchfork Interview

"There's a time and a place for trying everything, but there's no explicit genre-specific which came with this record. That was just kind of what we underlined it with just to give it some perspective, some placement. It's not pastiche; it's not like we're doing "Earth Angel" or whatever, and it sounded so ridiculous. It's just that we're both fans of the music-- the Everly Brothers and early Simon and Garfunkel or whatever. We're just trying to sing together. I love Jim's harmonies and wanted to harmonize."
