New album Hotel Utopia is a suite of 13 songs that discusses the afterlife and our fear of the mystery of the moment the light goes out. Or does it?

It’s a record that doesn’t attempt to answer that question but provokes the listener’s thoughts while holding their hand along a musical journey that meditates on our fears and fantasies of ‘heaven’ stopping off en route at murder, suicide, the end of the world and reincarnation as we all approach the unknown mystery of our own personal Hotel Utopia.

The band experiment with unconventional studio techniques from creating string sections from bowing a detuned acoustic guitar on The Warning and half-speeding vocals to create the androgynous sadness of Dust, to using a 50 year old spoken-word recording of British philosopher Alan Watts on Under The Headlights and home recording dawn birdsong to represent the ‘new world’ of The Flood. Hotel Utopia is an audio movie for the listener’s imagination and emotions.
