About Me |
|
The Western States Motel began as a recording entity, creating soundtracks for unmade short films set in Los Angeles, backyard nature documentaries, and various vhs camcorder retrospectives. Eventually, a score was completed for a short documentary called "FOLSOM, CASH AND THE COMEBACK," which examines Johnny Cash's 1968 concert at Folsom Prison. The recently released self-titled debut album has been receiving great reviews and landed in the CMJ college charts in its first week at radio. Songs from the album have been featured in well-known television programs and in feature films. For any person who's ever been anywhere, or that's heading some place, The Western States Motel is your soundtrack. Even if you're just standing still, they might just set you on your way. "...low-key, unexpected, and sweet...mixing shimmery summer sounds with unlikely introspection." Spin "...conjures up images of wide-open spaces, empty highways and yawning horizons--old Route 66 at burnt-orange sunset." LA Times "This album is fantastic, bordering on timeless...Rarely will you find an album that is this close to genius that is completely untouched by pretension." threeimaginarygirls.com "Bliss-filled acoustic pop. Powerlines is an absolutely gorgeous track..." rockinsider.com "The song Southwest Planes is the kind of tune that gets stuck in your head so completely that repeated listenings just cause it to find a better purchase there, rather than exorcising it away. " radiofreesilverlake.com "It's sunny west coast folk/pop...and I am digging on it big time this week. Great travellin' tunes if you ask me." my old kentucky blog "Powerlines is one of those songs that you just want to put on an endless loop." WXPN Philadlephia "There's a bit of The Shins' mystical 60's psych-rock vibe and some rainy day Elliot Smith-ness to boot. Sounds good right? It is." new york to london "A strong debut from a promising Los Angeles songwriter." west coast performer magazine "Singer and songwriter Carl Jordan is now in the running to become one of the best new indie singer/songwriters of late 2000's." indierockcafe.com For business inquiries, please contact our manager, Mary Rahmani at mary@elevatormgmt.com |
