Saint Motel came together in Los Angeles in 2009 and have spent the years since making indie pop that sounds like a party thrown in an old movie palace, with critics reaching for labels anywhere from dream pop to progressive indie. A.J. Jackson sings, writes, produces and plays guitar and piano, with Aaron Sharp on lead guitar, Dak Lerdamornpong on bass and Greg Erwin on drums.
The My Type EP arrived in 2014. Its title track is a brassy, strutting blast of horns and handclaps, the sound of a band dressing up and heading downtown, and "Cold Cold Man" plays the same game in a darker suit. Their album saintmotelevision followed in 2016 with the glossy "Move", and in 2019 The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, Part 1 brought "Van Horn", a jittery, sugar-rush shuffle.
They're a band that knows exactly what they are: sharp-dressed, big-hearted and built for the chorus.
