Winterlight Motel is a project whose sound feels very close to me – veiled vocals, immersive lo-fi textures… The new single Beautiful Skin comes across as deeply introspective, and the whole project feels truly born out of late nights in Salt Lake City and long drives through the desert. I’ve happily gotten lost in that part of the world a few times myself, which makes this music resonate with me all the more.
Winterlight Motel describes their music as “slow, lo-fi songs for people who feel a little out of place — music for flickering streetlights, memory loops, and the ache you can’t name.” It’s an accurate and beautifully fitting description. I tend to imagine their songs less as tracks and more as landscape paintings — moods you find yourself returning to, even if they carry a certain quiet melancholy.
