"If I had a reputation to gamble, I'd put it all on Motel Motel. I've said it all before, but this is a gifted band which equals the sum of all its parts. Each of the 5 members is a technically efficient musician that brings in different tastes and ideas...with each performance they seem to get tighter." - Brooklynvegan “[‘Coffee’ is] The best Ryan Adams or Cold War Kids song of 2008, complete with raspy Americana mise-en scène and piano-tinkling cocaine reference.” - Spin (Songs You Must Hear Now!) “[Motel Motel's] record "New Denver" clocks in at an ambitious 72 minutes, and every single one of them is necessary listening. This is NYC's best debut record of 2008." - New York Press (20 Best Bands in NYC) “This Brooklyn-based Americana pop band is that right taste of something new in your ears. With beautiful hints of piano and percussion behind killer guitar chords and emotional overtones, they are smoky hot.” - New York Post (1 Band, Who To Know in 2009) "Maybe Motel Motel is the gateway drug to the genre that will change my hardened city heart into something a bit more rural. This band makes eccentric pop music that slides towards the skewed." -Oh My Rockness
