Liverpool quartet Honey Motel offer up a blend of radiant musicality and relatable messages on their six-track EP Motel FM, a genre-hopping collection that captures their electrifying live sound with a textural finish.
Weaving through chaos, boredom, love, and quiet dread as it reflects on not fitting in, the EP brims with character and varied emotions whether on the silky vocals and indie tones of “If You Didn’t Exist,” or the fuzzy yet intense touches of “T.N.A.K.”Showcasing a cohesive yet varied approach, the project moves seamlessly from the jazzy “Milk” to the buoyant euphoria of “Aphrodite” with swaying from intense moments to breezy vibes with ease and charm.
Speaking of the EP, the band say, “This is our debut EP as a quartet – six tracks stitched together from. It’s for the losers, the weirdos, the misfits, the ones who feel they don’t belong but keep tuning in anyway, the ones that mirror ourselves. These songs pull from the anchors that keep us steady, the slow bleed of bottling everything up, the absurdity of a world where the façade is cracking, and the strange comfort of drifting through the noise with someone who makes it all feel okay. By the time the signal spirals into a cosmic fever dream, we’re not sure if it’s the end of the world or just the end of the broadcast, and maybe that’s the point. This is our invitation to join the broadcast, to dive headfirst into the swamp of loserdom, and to see where the signal takes you.”
Intimate yet relatable as it captures their genre-bending, experimental musicality Motel FM is a wild and unrestrained exploration of learning to be yourself.
Rooted in the teenage friendship of guitarist Sam Meredith and bassist Jack Hughes before drummer Lew Fogg and Freddie Griggs joined in, Honey Motel have continued to grow with each new release moving steadily from local scenes into high profile slots as they cement their status as an act worth keeping up with.
