Saint Motel
Brassy, retro-cinematic indie pop — 'My Type' still swings, a horn section and a matinee-idol grin.
Saint Motel formed in Los Angeles in 2009, with the core of the band having met while studying at film school. That background shows up in the group's work, which pairs bright, horn-assisted indie pop with a strong visual sense — videos and stage presentation have always been treated as part of the project rather than an afterthought.
The songs lean on major-key hooks, brass, and a slightly theatrical, mid-century pop feel. "My Type," originally released on an EP of the same name, became the band's best-known track and pushed them well beyond the Los Angeles club circuit; their albums include Voyeur and saintmotelevision.
