Introducing...Gold Motel

Trying to get back into the swing of things with blogging, and to start I have an excellent band to recommend to you:

Gold Motel

Gold Motel is an indie pop project fronted by Greta Salpeter (who currently performs as Greta Morgan), a name some of you may remember as being associated a few years ago with The Hush Sound. I was quite fond of The Hush Sound, especially their earliest material, so news of this new band (which also includes several members of This Is Me Smiling) came as a welcome surprise recently. The music of Gold Motel is--in many ways--similar to Morgan's previous group, but she gets the mic all to herself this time around and she makes the most of the opportunity on Summer House. With infectious guitar and piano riffs, big vocal hooks and a consistently sunny vibe, Gold Motel make a great introduction and Greta Morgan proves that she can handle a leading role just fine.(MySpace)
