Hotels "Where Hearts Go Broke" – Rave

Excerpt: “infectious, bouncy, dance-along pop tunes for the avid indie fan… Hotels can sure hold their own with ample doses of catchy lyrics, jangly guitars, neat beats and solid synthesizer work to produce an affecting debut release. The album is littered with influences from Joy Division, Interpol, Kraftwerk and The Pixies, with plenty of dance-along tracks, but also softer, atmospheric, shoegazing. The drawling, swelled vocals of Blake Madden in ‘The Heart That Hears Like A Bat’ is reminiscent of early Joy Division, and sounds strangely akin to many a James Bond theme – definitely a standout track on the album. Do yourself a favour and book some time in with Hotels – you’re assured a good time.”
