The weather this summer might be utterly atrocious, but fear not –
for there is a hansom new band from the shores of sunny California
sending some summery musical vibes our way.
Saint Motel are an new all-male outfit with real charisma, creating
indie rock with lashings of bosa nova, Latin, funk and tropical. Their
sound has a mellow, smooth, south-of-the-border feel, distinctly retro
without being throwback or pastiche. This band is the soundtrack to
Daiquiris and Margaritas, cigar smoke, and lazing around because it’s
just too damn hot.
This band create genuinely exciting, dynamic music with commercial
factor. Saint Motel equal amiable, clever music, with a fresh yet
classic appeal. Their music also has witty, cynical edge lyrically that
should appeal well to our wry British humour.
Saint Motel’s debut album is set for release on July 10th,
and will be available on i-tunes, CD and 12”. They also have their
fantastic track ‘Benny Goodman’ available on free download, like right
now. They are sadly focusing on touring in the US at the moment, but
hopefully they will approach our shores soon. Their raucous,
rhythm-heavy live shows are sure please and entertain.
