LCM Song Of The Day: ‘My Type’ - Saint Motel

I can almost guarantee that you have already heard the brass section hook on this 2014 hit by the very innovative LA band Saint Motel, who go full earworm on ‘My Type’. The song reminds me of a funky disco version of The Divine Comedy. Saint Motel feature A/J Jackson (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Aaron Sharp (lead guitar), Dak Lerdamornpong (bass) and Greg Erwin (drums). The band has a range of styles from "dream pop" to "indie prog” rock..

On July 11 2016, Saint Motel announced their second album, ‘Saintmotelevision’, released on October 21, 2016. The band embarked on a North American tour in support of the album, with Hippo Campus and JR JR as supporting acts. On August 12, Saint Motel released the album's first single, "Move," with an accompanying 360-degree video. In September, in an exclusive with Billboard, they released another song from the album, "You Can Be You.". Saint Motel has released 10 virtual reality components, one for each song on the album. This makes Saint Motel the first band to release an entire album with a virtual reality VR experience to accompany every track. One year after releasing the first-ever virtual reality album, Saint Motel has continued to experiment with new technologies, releasing the first-ever augmented reality version of Saintmotelevision, as well as offering the option to purchase the albums ‘ForPlay’ and ‘Voyeur’ with Bitcoin
