Pop craftsmen the Motel Creeps

The Gifts of Happenstance, a richly sensual and reflective debut LP from NYC's Motel Creeps, is a clutch of finely crafted pop songs in the tradition of Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Divsion, and other types of shoegaze infused brit-pop. With the Motel Creeps' growing reputation for energized, charismatic live shows, dreamy pop hooks, and lyric artistry, this band is quickly stepping out from the pack of pop-rock poseurs and into the Big Apple's spotlight.
