We get a lot of new music CDs from up-and-coming bands here at Bullz-Eye, and while we don’t always have the bandwidth to review them all, they don’t deserve to fall through the cracks.

Thus we introduce the Houstonian quintet Motion Turns It On here at ESDMusic, because they have a nice little MySpace page that presents the ethereal guitar-pop band in all its indie glory.


Instrumental, experimental, psychedelic and downright soothing at the end of a long day, Motion Turns It On evokes ambient, almost jazz-oriented chordings in a smooth way certain to please the ears of old Brian Eno fans all the way to more hip jam-band fans. Even Phish-heads who liked the downtempo side of the Vermont earthy-crunchies will dig Motion’s vibe.

Try it, you’ll like it. We do. For those who want more than a taste, the band’s six-song EP rima is pulling down critical kudos all over the web, including this one at Amplifier.
