Can This Even Be Called Music? I think that the prime goal of Moteur! is simply to play and see what results from anarchy, a sort of self-ordering chaos. The tracks are weird, off-putting, dissonant, and makes no heads nor tails. In that sense, it is a vibrant success!

about

Recorded in a gallery in Montpellier which gives its name to the album, En Traits Libres is composed of four uncut improvisations. Moteur! explores the freest forms of musical creations by way of free improvisation, and creates an instinctive and original music, influenced by free jazz, krautrock, rock in opposition and no-wave.

"Deuxième album du trio montpelliérain, En Traits Libres (du nom de la galerie où fut enregistrée cette session live) est un prodigieux exercice d'improvisations en tous genres. C'est qu'il en faut du talent pour proposer, sur un même titre, les plus hardies envolées psychédéliques, enchaîner ensuite avec quelques chorus Free-Jazz et colmater le tout avec un Krautrock si hypnotique que l'on s'attend à ce que le sieur Damo Suzuki (Can) vienne ici poser sa voix ! Moteur ! est un groupe envoûtant à écouter d'urgence... "

"Eh bien, il était vraiment impossible de préparer un programme plus original pour une édition disque!"
- recyclablesounds.blogspot.fr/2018/03/moteur-en-traits-libres-2018.html

"The songs seem to be in constant disequilibrium, and the slightest push of one musician or another will guide it towards a new direction; as everyone seems super-aware of everyone else, the feeling of cohesion remains, and it never feels like a disjointed piece."
