"Carl Jordan has crafted a simple yet haunted acoustic-driven wonder. The songs exude a warmth and intimacy that bigger names in light rock are constantly groping for." uclaradio.com
Bio / Background
On the debut album from The Western States Motel, Carl Jordan's intricately-woven songs recall Ektachrome summers and dusty Datsuns traversing the suburban plains of California. This is sunshine pop, no doubt, but it looks inwards as well. For every person who's ever been anywhere, or that's heading someplace, this is your soundtrack. Even if you're just standing still, this may set you on your way.
"The Western States Motel is exactly what it sounds like: driving music. 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
"Tragically it’s no longer summer, but this album serves as a reminder, generating gold memories of flip-flops on feet, road trips and summer flings. The Western States Motel’s self-titled album is a strong debut from a promising Los Angeles songwriter.
