"Each of their songs announces itself with a flourish and no little élan, and there's a light sprinkling of Caribbean rhythms, tropical flavours and lounge-jazziness throughout." - The Guardian
"Jackson and his cohorts inject Caribbean lilts, stomping beats and lounge-jazz licks into giddy power-pop." - The Washington Post
Already a growing proposition in the States where they've played shows with the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Imagine Dragons, the Los Angeles quartet SAINT MOTEL are making a strong impression with their debut Parlophone track and first Top 40 single 'My Type'. A record Track of the Day at Radio 1 and Record of the Week at Radio 2, it's also been playlisted at Radio 2 (A list), Radio 1 (B list), XFM (Daytime list) and Absolute (B list).
'My Type' is an exuberant collision of gorgeous tropical horns and percussion, suave indie style and frontman A/J Jackson's velveteen croon. Recalling the glam flair of the Seventies with elements of retro power-pop, SAINT MOTEL also possess a tongue-in-cheek twist on cynicism and irony that reflects their status as a Los Angeles band influenced by British culture.
