Motorheart (2021)

Months after the release of their presciently titled sixth album, Easter Is Cancelled, the holiday was indeed put on hold by a global pandemic and the Darkness, along with the rest of the world, entered lockdown. During the ensuing quarantine, the quartet recorded another album, the quick burst of Motorheart.

Months after the release of their presciently titled sixth album, Easter Is Cancelled, the holiday was indeed put on hold by a global pandemic and the Darkness, along with the rest of the world, entered lockdown. During the ensuing quarantine, the quartet recorded another album, the quick burst of Motorheart. Inspired by AC/DC and Guns N' Roses, the set also makes nods to Van Halen and Mötley Crüe, packed to the brim with riffs and the band's signature brand of winking humor. A slim nine tracks, it doesn't dwell on anything deeper than base desires or simple pleasures, providing a fun and bombastic release that plays on their strengths as technically proficient but debauched jesters of the U.K. rock world. Standouts include the monstrous "Motorheart," an arena-imploding ode to a sex robot; the rollicking "Nobody Can See Me Cry"; and the synth-washed groover "Speed of the Nite Time," a nice change of pace for the band that finds them taking a more polished approach to their '80s worship. The rest of the set doesn't stray too much from the formula: even when the bagpipes show up on "Welcome Tae Glasgae," Motorheart is all riffs and falsetto screams designed to forget reality and dream of crowds packed with headbanging, beer-soaked hedonists singing along to the same songs. ~ Neil Z.
