Gold Motel, the new Chicago group formed from members of The Hush Sound and This Is Me Smiling, has announced the release of its debut album, Summer House.
The band has just embarked on a fall US tour in support of the release. Full dates are below.
The piano-driven band features a soulful, retro sound, inspired by Elvis Costello and Blondie.
Gold Motel formed after Greta Morgan packed up her bags after relentless touring with the Hush Sound and moved to California. There she began writing the foundation for Gold Motel. She later returned to Chicago and reached out to members of This Is Me Smiling to round out the rest of Gold Motel.
