Adult Contemporary trio Motel Sundown lull listeners with their new single 'Midnight Blue'. Following the band’s inception in Liverpool in 2018, the Americana-inspired outfit have created calming, peaceful and vividly nostalgic songs that envelop and intrigue you. Their compositions are filled with perfectly-blended three-part harmonies and jazzy instrumentals, earning themselves a fast-growing fanbase.
Aptly named, 'Midnight Blue' is the perfect anthem for a winter day, epitomising the band’s signature wistful sound. The gentle strumming of a guitar and soft snare accompany the smooth, mellow vocals which are somewhat reminiscent of The Cranberries’ Dolores O’Riordan. The band’s vocals speak for themselves: powerful, yet haunting and laced with emotion, and, combined with the sentimental lyrics they make for an immersive, emotion-packed listening experience.
The band’s sonic success is a testament to artists they grew up with, which inspire both their songwriting and their sound. Bob Dylan is credited as one of their early inspirations, and the influence of his poetic lyricism is palpable in this track.
Fans saw the band tour the width of the United Kingdom throughout the year and they will undoubtedly continue to captivate crowds in the new year.
