Paradise Motel Lounge- Welcome to the...

Born in the sun-dappled salad days of 2019, Paradise Motel Lounge stakes out a twangy midpoint between George Jones’s lonesome croon and Stephen Malkmus’ slanted smirk, spinning songs that sway from barstool belters to barrel-aged ballads. With four other albums simmering in the kitchen, including originals, ambient country hums, and a covers sprawl, this crew slings their self-dubbed cow-jazz into every corner willing to listen. As it stands now, Welcome to the… rolls out a worthy cornerstone.
