American but German based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Mote’s distinctive interplay of electronic sounds with post rock backdrops are a refreshing take on the modern rock landscape. The melodies across his work are consistently moody and melancholic that find themselves coupled with deeply introspective and unravelling lyrical performances. The synth rock anthemic feeling that he’s brought to life on ‘Industrial Love’ is powerful and energised, filled with a purpose and poise that leaves you immersed in the energy and synthetic texture it finds its palette in.
Mote has undergone hardship in his path to being a more fleshed out and fully fledged musician, having been bed ridden for nearly a year after coming to grips with a deadly disease. His rise makes it all the more heart warming to hear. There’s a way that Industrial Love pulls at your heartstrings, makes you yearn for a better tomorrow, and has you reminiscing of your best years. It’s pure.
