Saint Motel, a fave around the QNYC office, recently released a video for "My Type".  The tune is insanely infectious and the clip is fun with a retro vibe. Scroll down a bit, turn up the volume and get caught up in all of the groovy goodness.

The My Type EP is scheduled for release on July 28 via Parlophone Records. 

Saint Motel - “My Type”

Saint Motel released a video for their single “My Type” earlier this week.  I really dig this song and the Sam Winkler directed clip has earned the ‘video crush’ title here at QNYC headquarters.  Check it out below.

Video of the Day: Saint Motel Offer Up A Delightful "Benny Goodman"

Today we have for you the latest video from Saint Motel.  The clip for, "Benny Goodman," a song from their debut album Voyeur, was released about a week ago.  The video was directed by the band's A/J Jackson and features the adorable Miles "Baby Boogaloo" Brown.  If I didn't already like this song, the video would have won me over.  One, it has a plot, how a Jackson 5 type group went from being a 4 piece to a 5 piece.  Two, everyone in the video looked like they were enjoying themselves.  I like when people look like they're enjoying themselves.  Three, it made me smile...that should probably be number one.

If you haven't checked out this band yet, you should.  Check out the video below and grab the song using the handy widget the band was cool enough to provide.

Caught My Ear: Saint Motel - "1997"

The artists known as Saint Motel are releasing their debut album, Voyeur, on July 10.  They premiered their new song "1997" about a month ago. I know, I'm a little behind but better late than never when it comes to good stuff! Check it out below using the handy widget.

   SAINT MOTEL - 1997 by saintmotel

With sophisticated savvy and singularity, the Los Angeles quartet Saint Motel has built a formidable reputation on the back of inventive indie pop and wildly-fun live shows. Mixing raw energy and rousing rhythms, Saint Motel's aural catharsis is pure bliss with a twist of cynical humor. According to A/J Jackson, singer and creative force behind Saint Motel, the band recently has expanded its repertoire to include “new elements that I would describe as tropical, Latin, big band, retro, that I don't think would have applied to our earlier music.”

This is the way of Saint Motel, not to be held down by stagnancies, but to continue a natural progression.  Once the listener is pulled in by the pulsating and joyous melodies, delight can be found in the surprisingly avant-garde lyrical subject matter. Voyeur is lush with stories that reveal themselves through thematic twists and turns with a narrative voice both subversive and sincere. With themes ranging from the lure of plastic surgery, to the dangers of honest feedback, to the taboo bonds of friendship within the Heaven’s Gate cult, we end up with tongue-in-cheek notions strung together by honest motifs, delivered with charm, often leaving the song’s meanings open to interpretation.

Jackson admits “while all the songs are based on what many would call ‘absurd’ subject matter, many of the songs have various levels of subtext that I hope the listener will decipher with repeated listens. “And so, what might be easily perceived as sexy with one listen, with another might seem mean-spirited or flatly perverse. That is the flair of Saint Motel's rapturous pop and the graceful dichotomy of its existence.
