The range of bands (​Angil and the still active ​Lion in Bed​, to name just two) which Mottet was a member of have all been acclaimed by amateurs of his “auteur pop songs”, to quote ​Les Inrockuptibles​. The diversity of this community of demanding aficionados speaks volumes: from ​Drowned in Sound to ​Uncut​’s Martin Aston, through ​WFMU​, Rock Sound​, ​Pop Matters​, ​The List​, ​BBC​’s ​Mark Russell and Robert Sandall​... Everyone of them agrees that Mottet’s pop songs have been crafted from a unique formula since his first record released by ​Megaphone (Teaser for Matter, 2004) and second one, which came out on ​Chemikal Underground​, Oulipo Saliva (2007).
