THE WESTERN STATES MOTEL -POWERLINES


ARTIST / BAND: THE WESTERN STATES MOTEL
SONG (MP3): POWERLINES
ALBUM: Motel
FILE UNDER: Indie / Rock / Acoustic
LABEL: firebird field recordings

INFO: 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. You can find it on the "WALK THE LINE" special edition dvd. Their recently-released debut album has been receiving great reviews and the band looks forward to lots of live performances in 2007. This is sunshine pop, no doubt, but it looks inwards as well. 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.
