Review
Let me tell you about Saint Motel's "saintmotelevision" from 2016 – what a glorious listen! This album is just bursting with life, a truly vibrant indie pop journey that zips by in about 31 minutes across ten tunes. It's got this dazzling blend of alt-pop that shimmers with super energetic arrangements, all fronted by A/J Jackson's vocals and guitar work. He really steers the ship, laying down those catchy hooks and giving everything a bright, almost cinematic feel. The whole thing just radiates an infectious, upbeat vibe that’s totally their signature style.
And man, they really went for it on this record! You've got the core band, but they brought in extra folks for horns and background vocals, which just makes the whole sound incredibly rich and full. Tunes like "Move," "Getaway," and "Destroyer" truly showcase that dynamic layering, with brass and saxophones adding so much zest to their indie pop foundation. It’s a slick piece of work, balancing that polished studio craft with music that’s approachable but still really artful. This album is a colorful, tightly crafted ride with a real flair for theatrics and tunes you just can't help but hum along to. - Preston
