Lyrics
Three years after his critically acclaimed debut album Après le paradis, Geneva based composer Love Motel is back on the scene with Mind the Void.
Invoking a full suite of portraits, Love Motel describes « his » 21st century through the eyes of a bunch of lost souls (wasted nerds, repentant machos, TV addicts, sadistic gigolos, former dictators and naughty astronauts) looking for salvation. And while the portraits that he paints aren’t that pretty, his sexy musical performance as well as his dark and ironic lyrics transform Mind the Void into an hypnotizing, beautiful and menacing soundtrack of now.
Mind the Void offers the same rich intensity as Love Motel’s former album, but meted out through a more mature and more cohesive sound that immediately grabs your attention. Andres Garcia’s skilful production keeps the tension bubbling just below the surface mixing glam rock guitars, booty basses and robotic rhythms bringing back something from the 80s, although contemporary textures always lurk beneath the surface of Mind the Void.
To say I like your tracks would be such an understatement. 1st I listened to dial god usa- and thought it was great but then came on Je Pleure. could anything be better then it lol but then cosmic love- which is a great song to be with the ladies lmao - but i must say l'enfer -is the best. just great. I so much like it, I already told some friends about you guys and added it to my personal myspace. Wish you all the luck and maybe one day I’ll get to you perform live. Have a beautiful week.
