Excerpt: “If I had to describe Hotels, I’d have to recur to words like ‘spaced-out,’ ‘poppy,’ and ‘synthesizer,’ and I’d be using these words, for the most part, positively. Though you can hear that the 80s had a strong influence on their sci-fi indie pop (they even have songs titles like ‘Flight of the Navigator’), I can’t quite say they sound like band X or Y. It’s pop, that’s for sure, and the flourishes and sounds give everything a dreamy touch without affecting the catchiness of it all. Since I picked this one up on Valentine’s Day I’ve found it to be a solid, throroughly enjoyable album.”
