The Motels - The Last Few Beautiful Days (2018)

By my count this is the ninth studio album from L.A.'s noir mainstays. I've been checking out their complete discography over the past few months and have to say I'm mighty impressed with this one. After the group reformed in 2007, Martha Davis has surrounded herself with an everchanging roster but it really doesn't matter because her big voice is the attraction. Her trademark lost soul vocals floating on a bed of synths have never sounded better on these moody songs, all written by the group.

on the Sam-O-Meter.

That's the grad school edition.

I would much rather listen to the College of the College of King's College of College version.

I’m guilty too. Ah, the dangers of cut and paste.

 

[axolotl]

That's the grad school edition.

It's really too much time to attend just to get an M.A.

I’m guilty too. Ah, the dangers of cut and paste.

There's never enough caffeine here for post-grad work.
