Search - Hotel Alexis :: The Shining Example Is Lying on the Floor

The critically acclaimed debut by the Hotel Alexis. Called "the most pleasant surprise of the year" by Dusted magazine, these 12 sepia-toned, heartbreaking tracks were conceived in bus stations, rest stops, cathedrals and parking lots all across the world. Songwriter Sidney Alexis augments his whispered voice and intimate songs with pedal steel guitar, vibraphone, piano, drums and synths, ending up with an album of songs that Aquarius Records of San Francisco calls "Completely beautiful and utterly heartbreaking, it's a little hard to know how to describe it in a way that does it justice. So so so good it just kills us."
