Porterville, CA spoken word/indie/ambient rock outfit Hotel Books have announced an April 7 release date for their upcoming sophomore InVogue Records LP, ‘Run Wild, Young Beauty.’ The record is now available for pre-order here.
The video for the title track premiered last week on Alternative Press is now streaming on Youtube.
Vocalist Cam Smith told AP, “With the responses we got on (debut LP) I’m Almost Happy Here, we wanted to spend time meditating on the concept of Love, and worked to find to new avenues to express our opinions and experiences. With new members, we tried to reinforce the indie and ambient elements of our sound to provide the best musical landscape for the poems I had been working on. Through this past year of touring and meeting new people, we have been more inspired than ever before to write music that allows us to connect and share Love with our amazing family.”
Hotel Books is confirmed to play South By So What Festival on March 20 and will be touring with Defeater, Counterparts, Capsize, and Better Off from March 27-April 28.. See dates below.
