"Capturing the giant magnitude of tiny moments. Shine on you crazy diamond in the rough." --MAGNET
"Mr. Jessee's murmuring, barely-there vocals compliment his bandmates' lulling folk-rock. The album's title track--a tender, piano-driven lament--could ably serve as a soundtrack for any long drive home."--THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Somewhere between the intimacy of Nick Drake and the enveloping warmth of Burt Bacharach's 70's songwriting disciples." --PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY
"Jessee reveals a more aching, hushed side to his craft that owes as much to Sparklehorse (which, coincidentally, shares a member in guitarist Alan Weatherhead) as it does the lonely landscapes of Being There-era Wilco. And even in Jessee's most introspective moments, the sparkling folk-pop arrangements of Hotel Lights conjure a breezy autumn whimsy."--SPIN
"The craft of Firecracker People is nothing short of superb." ALL MUSIC GUIDE
"This tender, atmospheric sophomore effort is a beauty that falls somewhere between the twangier side of Wilco and the impressionist hush of Elliott Smith. With his rustic vocals and layers of instruments, "Firecracker" pops with a pleasing low-key energy and sense of handmade melancholy." --THE BOSTON GLOBE
"Hotel Lights' songs are deceptively quiet and unassuming, yet have the capacity to steal a way into your soul."--POP MATTERS
Small town waitresses, naked palm readers, walking home in the cold, pay phones and trains. Hotel Lights plays melancholy and beautiful songs about small, human scenes-- spot lit moments enclosed and illuminated.
What a great sound! I absolutely love "Blue Always Finds Me" Thanks for the add. I've got a few tracks up, if you get a chance, let me know whatcha think. Cheers from up the hudson in Poughkeepsie, NY!
