Saint Motel - Saintmotelevision

Elektra recording group Saint Motel have today released their new full length album Saintmotelevision, featuring the lead single Move, which the band has performed on key US television looks such as NBC’s Today and CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden.

Saintmotelevision was recorded earlier this year in Los Angeles with production from the likes of Lars Stalfors (Cold War Kids) and Tim Pagnotta (Walk The Moon) among others, as well as Saint Motel’s ownA/J Jackson. The song is joined by a remarkable “virtualizer” created by the band to go far beyond the standard companion visualizer or lyric video. By combining 360° animation and virtual reality technology, the Move virtualizer offers fans an interactive and immersive experience on either conventional mobile devices or VR goggles.

Saintmotelevision follows Saint Motel’s 2014 label debut EP My Type, highlighted by such singles as Cold Cold Man and the breakthrough hit title track. My Type has garnered over 51 million streams on Spotify and was a top 40 favourite in Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, where it received platinum sales certification. In addition, the My Type companion video – directed by Saint Motel frontman A/J Jackson – has drawn more than 13.8 million views at the band’s official YouTube channel.

Saint Motel came together when A/J Jackson met fellow Southern California film student Aaron Sharp, and together launched a new musical project. Bangkok-born bassist Dak Lerdamornpong and drummer Greg Erwin completed the group, which immediately attracted attention for their striking visual presentations and dynamic indie rock.

Voyeur, Saint Motel’s independently released 2012 debut album, earned national acclaim and massive play on Alternative blogs and specialty radio. Further applause came from the band’s increasingly inventive live performances, including such audio/visual extravaganzas as The Kaleidoscopic Mind Explosion in 3D and the annual Zombie Prom, as well as tours alongside Arctic Monkeys, Imagine Dragons, Band of Skulls, and Weezer.

Saint Motel has spent much of the past year in the studio and on the road, including high-energy sets at festivals including Indio, Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, Dover, Firefly Music Festival,Sasquatch! Music Festival and Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.

Saint Motel is: A/J Jackson (vocals), Aaron Sharp (guitar), Dak Lerdamornpong (bass), and Greg Erwin (drums)

Enjoy!
