Connor Oberst, thy days are numbered! The New Motels have captured and bottled the original lo-fi charm of early Bright Eyes and made it their own. These warbled peons to lonely nights and the girls who cause them will make indie-rock cynics get up and kiss. It’s official; Philadelphia is the new Omaha.
The New Motels' primary songwriters, Josh Levandoski and Dave Bonawits, not only know how to write a catchy melody, but they are also quite clever and attractive.
