Wow.  Just wow.

Boy, did this ever catch my attention! That two-note guitar, and the vocals... So distinctive. I might need another listen, but I liked this from the start... (The segué into Traffic's "Shanghai Noodle Factory" didn't work for me at all...)

Not too bad, but not making me eager for more. Gave it a 6...

still liking it a year later——soothing.

i once got a compilation of bands who were on a label called "Glitterhouse" many who had this sound; I always hoped to hear more of this and hearing this made me prick up my ears.
some call it ambient folk rock?
love some hypnotic repetitive guitar

Sounds nothing like WP to me.  If I had to pigeonhole, I'd say they (in this song at least) sounded like Calexico with mellower vocals.

First time I listen to this song - I like it very much. Thank you Bill!

I like this more and more.  Plus, I always think its so cool when artists post messages here.  I have to admit it quite possibly skews my ratings upwards, but so be it.

I agree.  I think it is because of Ghost Riders in the Sky, and Riders on the Storm.

I'm fond of all those bands.   Funny, I first thought it was the Republic Tigers. hehe

That much confusion and I'm thinking the style is already rather unique.

Crap guitar on this.

This song sounds so much like 'Synesthesia" by Montrose from the 80's it could be plagarism.  The guitar work is eerily similar. Interesting...  If you have never heard this song by Montrose, it is very haunting guitar work.

Song titles can usually be excused for poor grammar because of the artistic/cultural intention, but "We Better Free Ourselves" doesn't sound like any sort of artistic statement. Just ignorant grammar.

Ugh..

We'd Better Free Ourselves

That bugaboo aside, the song is mellow and pretty nice on first listen.

Motjiva is a hardworking and persistent band from Copenhagen. The four members share their unlike background of musical influences and has within short time grown and gained attention. In 2008 Motjiva made their first self produced promotion album "We better free ourselves". The band are in constantly working progress of making new songs. In their own studio, time is no limit. Creativity and enthusiasm unfolds and the sound of Motjiva is there... Motjiva album "We better free ourselves" is avalable at Soundstation.dk and on iTunes.
me likey too
 
Uh, despite this shameless heart-on-sleeve self promotion—are they starving, too?—I like this cut a lot. Hey guys, get a copy editor before the BS unfolds more rapidly than, what was it?, the "creativity and enthusiasm..." Yeesh.
