Ben Auld’s ‘Loserdom’ has come around like the greatest of meds for my dopamine thirsty brain because these ripping dueling Thin Lizzy guitars, Grand Prix era Teenage Fanclub, Replacements, Tony Molina power pop bangers with wee picked folk breaks are filling up my cup so high it’s overspilling. Look, this stuff is absolute catnip for a DIY power pop obsessive like myself and having been given a preview of this album, I can confirm this is the best in it’s field for a very long time.

My record ‘Loserdom’ is out today. This one took a while to piece together and it’s a bit of a left turn from my last record, so apologies if you preferred the acoustic stuff.
I’ve been wanting to make something like this for a long time so I hope you dig it. It would not have been possible without some very talented and dedicated people involved.
It’s been a real pleasure to work with Jim @safesuburbanhome and Galen @repeatingcloud on the release. Can’t wait to hit the road with label buds @sumosmusic and @rural_france next week.
Enormously grateful to bandmates Conor, Dunc and George who have spent so much time rehearsing, recording and working on these songs over the last couple years.

Tremolo On The Punchline is out now! Vinyl is available courtesy of @bestbrotherrecords & @repeatingcloud . CDs will be released later this month from @subjangle_official . Thanks to everyone who purchased a copy so far!
"Seventeen songs of exuberant, unflappable guitar pop music combining the angelic vocals of Tobin Sprout with the mysticism of Robert Pollard... I could see just about anything off of this album being the one that resonates with any given listener in particular."
-Rosy Overdrive
"There is something new and exciting about Tremolo On The Punchline. It is the first Mythical Motors album to get a vinyl release, which feels like a proper milestone for any underground musician... You can pick it up through Repeating Cloud and Best Brother Records, and I recommend doing exactly that. That is exactly the kind of underground hero we like to champion. Tremolo On The Punchline contains some of Addison’s best material yet, and that says plenty."

This one from 2009 is the earliest picture I have of us both and is, I think, still pretty accurate.
25 fancy years as of today and just about as many Halloween costumes
