Paris Motel - In The Salpetriere

Despite the Gallic moniker, Paris Motel is as English as tuppence and is actually a vehicle for London based multi-talented instrumentalist Amy May, sometime collaborator with Kevin Shields and one of the most in-demand arrangers this country has produced in many a year.Her debut album, a haunting collection of tales inspired by various women throughout history (pirates, literary characters, authors and even Patty Hearst) sits somewhere between the pastoral folk of Fairport Convention and the lush orchestration of mid-20th century classical music.·It may be a strange concept but it's one that has been lapped up by appreciative audiences at Glastonbury, Latitude and SXSW.  ·"Paris Motel bring back the lavish instrumentation of stage production with pervasive cinematic qualities and celebrated showmanship you can instantly recognize and easily surrender to" – 8/10 Drowned In Sound.
