Kansas City’s Dan Eaton makes frenetic mellow music. It’s got that slow rumbling bass that you feel in your solar plexus on a big system, but is just chill enough for a late night makeout sesh. Throw in some 80s synth hooks and a warped glitch-art video and you’ll understand where he’s going with this.
Nathan at The Record Machine tells me the video was “inspired by Lisa Frank Trapper Keeper designs.” Directed by Mike Russo + Dan Eaton. Sport LP is out now.
Here is the video for the second single Lessons from the new Motorboater from Sport. The songs has already been featured on sites like XL8R and Impose. Like the rest of the album Lessons falls into the perfect for summer vibe. Our buddy Teddyboater makes an co-starring appearance at 2:58.

Motorboater started this last summer when my buddy Dan Eaton started sending me electropop jams(emphasis on the jams). I loved the songs so much I told Dan to keep making more. As more and more songs came together he played a show with Half-Handed Cloud. Shortly thereafter Motorboater made appearance at our Holiday Showcase. Well here we are 3 months later and we have his P/U Yr Heart debut EP. Motorboater has a few upcoming shows one at The Record Machine Spring Showcase and another at SWSW.
3/12 at The Czar Bar for The Record Machine Spring Showcase w/Cowboy Indian Bear, Capybara, and Max Justus
