Sounds Like New Denver - Trailer" - Motel Motel



Motel Motel Live-South Paw Brooklyn-Cowboy



The five grievous angels who comprise Motel Motel steal the candlelight, bali hai wine, shotguns and steam trains from forlorn honky-tonkers like Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt and escape without being smothered by the alt-country label. Unlike their more direly nostalgic peers, New York-based Motel Motel imbue the gothic storytelling of their forebears with a nubile energy that suggests they're living just as hard but having more fun. Literate, classic, occasionally baroque; Motel Motel isn't riding a wave or clinging stalwartly to a movement so much as they're hunkering down for a long run at rock relevance.

   About Motel Motel
"If I had a reputation to gamble, I'd put it all on Motel Motel. I've said it all before, but this is a gifted band which equals the sum of all its parts. Each of the 5 members is a technically efficient musician that brings in different tastes and ideas...with each performance they seem to get tighter."
- Brooklynvegan

“[‘Coffee’ is] The best Ryan Adams or Cold War Kids song of 2008, complete with raspy Americana mise-en scène and piano-tinkling cocaine reference.”
- Spin (Songs You Must Hear Now!)

“[Motel Motel's] record "New Denver" clocks in at an ambitious 72 minutes, and every single one of them is necessary listening. This is NYC's best debut record of 2008."
- New York Press (20 Best Bands in NYC)

“This Brooklyn-based Americana pop band is that right taste of something new in your ears. With beautiful hints of piano and percussion behind killer guitar chords and emotional overtones, they are smoky hot.”
- New York Post (1 Band, Who To Know in 2009)

"Maybe Motel Motel is the gateway drug to the genre that will change my hardened city heart into something a bit more rural. This band makes eccentric pop music that slides towards the skewed."
-Oh My Rockness

you guys are entirely too modest. i dont know if thats a ploy but you put on a great show regardless! i brought two of my friends to bowery who had never heard your music, and they left raving. thank you for being awesome and playing coffee. i recorded most of it,.... hopefully you dont mind if i put it on youtube. let me know if you do and i'll take it off - - but i think the vid will just convert more fans! :)

the other night when you played the soapbox you played the song cowboy and this is how it made me feel...like my head had been cracked open and all the bad got out and all i was left with was foam and vastness...not like an empty vastness. a kind of dreamy awareness...oxymoron? like putting alcohol in a petri dish. The alcohol evaporates and you're left with nothing but pure, clean, water. just a greatness i felt then that I can't really explain and didn't and won't feel ever again i don't think. you're just really great at what you do. so thankz
