motonormal

Biography

motonormal (formely known as Siemens Nokia) consists of three dudes: Sanel (Gogdog), Harli (Laurel 2) and Timo (Oumeen). The idea of the band, which formed in Tallinn, Estonia in 2021 is to not overthink and release music without spending too much time on the details, drawing inspiration from everything they like—from baggy UK sound, 90s hip-hop to college rock and post-punk. More recently, they have been influenced also by trip hop and breaks.

To describe their special sound, the band coined the term "pohuiwave" ("pohui" being an Estonian swear word meaning "fuck it"). Trio released their first album "Jippii!" in April 2022, which was followed by extensive amount of live shows in different places, venues and festivals in Estonia. Sophomore album, a more guitar-driven "Ebarealju" followed in July 2023.
