Eli Superflyy Announces 'MOTOR' Album Release Tour + Giving Away A Car

Enlivening Aotearoa's airwaves at the start of this year with the infectiously crunchy, DIY fuzz-pop goodness of 'Mockingbird', Te Whanganui-a-Tara's Eli Superflyy will soon be lifting the lid on his debut album MOTOR, utilising the expert production skills of Steven Marr. Out digitally and on limited edition vinyl LP (courtesy of Holiday Records) on 12th July, to mark the significance Eli Superflyy is not only touring nationwide, he's also put together one heck of a prize giveaway — "pre-order a vinyl or ticket to a show before July 12th to enter the draw to win a 2004 Renault Scenic, decaled with Eli Superflyy's ‘MOTOR’ album art!" The ultimate combo: great music and a sweet whip.

Check out the competition details below, hit play on Eli Superflyy's first single and video from the record 'Happy', and catch the rising talent playing across the motu this winter — brought to you by The Slack Agency, VMorg Limited and Low Strung...

UPDATE: "Due to an unfortunate incident where a bus demolished the car we purchased, the winner announcement has been postponed to July 30th. We are working hard to find a replacement car for the giveaway. Please see Eli Superflyy's Instagram for videos about this (HERE)"...

"Whether it be the time taken to write and compile all these tracks together, or the monotony of nothingness in my everyday life, this album is an accurate representation of what my world was like from 2020-2023. No bells and whistles, no concept pre-planned, just a compilation of tracks with the same overarching theme of time. Throughout this small window of time, I had encountered the most amount of change I’ve ever had to deal with in my life."
